Verifying a login by using an authenticator app

This verification method works as follows:
  • Use a code that is created by an app on your mobile device.
  • The code is valid for 30 seconds. As soon as the time expires, a new code is automatically displayed which again is valid for 30 seconds.
  • When logging in, you have to use the same authenticator app that you used for setting up the verification method.
How to verify your identity with an authenticator app:
    Launch the authenticator app on your mobile device.If the app displays multiple services, select the service that you use for verifying the groupware login.
    Log in to the groupware with your username and password.
    If having set up multiple verification methods, the Select 2-step verification method window opens. Select Google Authenticator.The 2-Step Verification window opens. In Authentication Code, enter the code that is currently displayed by the app on your mobile device.
