How to verify 2FA with Google Authenticator on Mobile App
Step 5: Download Google Authenticator or another authenticator app on your phone from Google Play or the App Store.
You don’t have to use Google Authenticator but personally, we think it’s the easiest.
Step 6: Open the app.
Step 7: Connect your Payroller account to the app by selecting the plus button on the bottom right of your Google Authenticator app and either scan the barcode provided in Payroller or type in the code manually.
Once this has been set up, the app will give you a six-digit code that expires every thirty seconds.
Step 8: Enter this code where it asks for it and click ‘Verify’.
Please note: Authentication Codes are time-sensitive and will expire in 30 seconds.
