# Setting up the QR code for two factor authentication for UPPMAX | ||
|
||
Part of [setting up two factor authentication for UPPMAX](get_uppmax_2fa.md) | ||
is to get a QR code. | ||
|
||
![Getting an UPPMAX 2FA QR code](./img/get_uppmax_2fa_qr.png) | ||
|
||
You need to scan this QR code to add your account to your software. Most softwares call this "Add account" or similar and will offer an option to scan a QR code using the smartphone camera or select an area of the screen where the code is. | ||
|
||
Note that this must often be done from within the app for two factor authentication. If you see a string similar to | ||
|
||
otpauth://totp/username@UPPMAX?secret=SOMETEXT&issuer=UPPMAX | ||
|
||
it didn't work and you probably need to do something different (such as starting the app and select scan from within). | ||
|
||
Once you've scanned the code, you are often allowed to change the name the software will use for the account before you add it. You can change the name if you want - changing the name does not affect the codes generated. Finish adding the account to the software. |

# Setting up the QR code for two factor authentication for UPPMAX | ||
|
||
Once you have the new account, you should get one time codes for it when you | ||
have it selected. | ||
To finish the registration at UPPMAX, you need to enter the code | ||
that is displayed in the field where it says "Code:" and submit. | ||
The codes will change over time, don't worry about this, | ||
you just need to use whatever code is current. | ||
|
||
Once you have entered and submitted the current code, | ||
you should see a final page: | ||
|
||
![The final page](./img/get_uppmax_2fa_qr_code.png) | ||
|
||
When you see that page, it will take a little while and the token will | ||
be activated (you should also receive an e-mail about the new token). |

# 2FA apps | ||
|
||
Assuming you use a smart phone, there are quite a number of good apps for | ||
handling twofactor authentication. | ||
|
||
A simple one that is easy to get going with is Google Authenticator. | ||
It's available for Android and iOS. | ||
|
||
Authy is another alternative that features cloud storage and sync between | ||
devices but needs some initial setup. | ||
Available for Android, iOS and as a Chrome App for computers. | ||
|
||
Password handlers and security solutions also often feature two factor | ||
handling, e.g. Lastpass and Duo Mobile. | ||
