User:Cigaryno/Two-factor authentification

This page contains instructions to enable the 2FA to your account. More informations can be found at metawikimedia:Help:Two-factor authentification

Step 1: Install an authentificator app
Mobile: Google Authentificator, Microsoft Authentificator, Authy, FreeOTP or any other app

Linux and macOS: OATH tollkit

Windows: WinAuth

You can also use another TOTP client.

Step 2: Type the 2FA secret key into your authentificator
It can be found at Special:OATHauth along with your username.

Step 3: Write down scratch codes into safe places
These let you recover your account without an authentificator. These codes will never be shown again.

Step 4: Verify your code
Click decompile and then make sure you use on-time token which is used by the MediaWiki software

Type the code on your authentificator on your wiki.
