# MindBehind Flow: Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

2. Open your authenticator app (such as Google Authenticator or Authy) on your mobile device.
3. Use the authenticator app to scan the **QR code** displayed on the screen.
4. The authenticator app will generate a **6-digit** PIN.
5. Enter this PIN in the field labeled "Enter Authentication Code" on the same setup screen.
6. After entering the PIN, click the **Continue** button.
7. You will be provided with **backup codes**, which can be used to access your account if you are unable to access your One Time Password (OTP) device.
8. You should copy or download these **backup codes** and store them in a secure place.
9. After managing the **backup codes**, click the **Continue** button to complete the setup process.
10. From now on, every time you log in, you will be prompted to enter your one-time password (OTP) for authentication.
Subsequent logins
1. During each login attempt, you will be prompted to enter a 6-digit code.
2. Open the authenticator app on your mobile device.

> Each **backup code** can only be used once. Use the **backup codes** in the order they appear in the downloaded file.
