General steps; menu names vary. Sparkasse's own guide has the exact screens.

  1. Sign in to Sparkasse and open your account's security settings. Look for two-step verification or two-factor authentication. Sparkasse's own guide shows the exact screens.
  2. Install S-pushTAN on your phone and sign in. Turn on sign-in approvals when it asks.
  3. 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.
