- Sign in to o2switch and open your account's security settings. Look for two-step verification or two-factor authentication. o2switch's help pages show the exact screens.
- Choose authenticator app. A QR code appears.
- Open your authenticator app, add an account and scan the QR code. Type the 6-digit code it shows to confirm.
- Save the backup codes. Keep them in your password manager or print them; they're your way back in if you lose your phone or key.
