FAQs

Can I use the same QR code or key for multiple devices? No, the QR code or key is unique and tied to a single device. You must generate a new code for each new setup.

What if my new authenticator app doesn’t generate valid codes? Ensure your device's time is synced correctly. Incorrect time settings can cause issues with code generation.

What happens to my account security if I change Google Authenticator? Changing Google Authenticator does not impact your account security as long as the new authenticator is properly set up and verified.
