3. There are two ways to set up Google Authenticator:

Entering the secret key manually: Select Manual entry. In the field Account enter a name for your account. For example, this could be the username and/or the server and/or the domain of your hosting account. In the field Key enter the 16-digit secret key, which is displayed on your computer screen.
