Set Up the Authenticator App:
Open your authenticator app and scan the QR code or manually enter the provided code.
Save Backup Codes:
After configuring authentication, HidenCloud will provide you with a set of backup codes. These codes are crucial in case you lose access to your authenticator app.
Save these codes in a secure place. You can print them, store them in a secure password manager, or note them down in a safe location.
Complete the Process:
After entering the authenticator app code and saving the backup codes, click "Continue" or "Save" to complete the process.
You're done! You have now enabled two-factor authentication on your HidenCloud account. Remember that in the future, you will need the authenticator app, and in case of emergencies, the backup codes to access your account. Keep these items secure!
