  1. Enter the verification code, provided by your Authenticator app. Click Verify Code. The section will light green and state Verification Successful.

The two-factor authentication will replace the security code that you previously used to log into your console.


 
Note: The security code that you previously chose will be stored in your preferences in case you decide to Disable 2FA in the future.
