Released Authenticator App 4.1
· 2 min read
We have released version 4.1 of the Authenticator App.
Support for app configuration using QR codes
We have extended our Authenticator App to support scanning of QR codes for configuration.
What does this mean?
Instead of manually entering information into the fields required for configuring the Authenticator App, you can now scan a QR code to configure it automatically instead.
How to scan a QR code
- Update the Authenticator App to latest version (4.1).
- In the app, tap the gear icon, then tap the QR code scanner icon.
- Use the UI to correctly position your phone's camera and scan the QR code. The configuration fields are now automatically populated for you.
