2 factor authentication

How do I get the key or QR-code to define my site within the Google authenticator app? I can activate 2FA but that's only half way.

Re: 2 factor authentication

I just followed the instructions that popped up.
Enable 2-Factor authorization and then try logging in.
I clicked on “Don’t have Google Authenticator set up?” and followed the instructions
I opened the email that they sent on my ipad and scanned to code using iphone
that added the site to the Authenticator app

Re: 2 factor authentication

You’ll need to get your email configuration working first. Try setting the mail send type to ‘mail’ instead of ‘smtp’ in the main Backlight settings.
