When you submit your password, a window will be displayed containing a quick response (QR) code block.

Ensure you have an appropriate authentication application on your mobile phone and scan the QR code. 

If the authenticator you are using recognises your details, enter the validation code into the **Authenticator Code** field. 

If your account has not been added to the authenticator database, follow the required steps to create an account. Re-scan the QR code and then enter the validation code.

*Refer to* [*Using Authenticator*](https://outline.suredrop.io/doc/using-authenticator-jaMIhHv2nM) *for guidance.*
