3. Installation of Google Authenticator on their Device 

a. Android Install (Google Play Store) 

b. Apple Install (Apple Store) 

4. Have their device with Google Authenticator open every time they login into “Verified”.

Open the Google Authenticator app on your phone and click the button that adds a new account (may look like a big plus (+)sign). 5. Choose to scan a QR code. 6. Scan the QR code displayed on the page. 7. Check off the "I'm not a robot" checkbox. 8. Click the "Submit" button. Please note that the activation link we send you is only active for a limited time.
