2FA, also known as "Two-Factor Authentication" is a method that provides an extra level of security when logging in.
Thank you for reading my guide and I hope to have helped you in some way! If you have any questions, I will try my best to answer them down below! Enjoy the extra security and have a great day!
Google Authenticator is an application that implements two-step verification services using the Time-based One-time Password Algorithm (TOTP) and HMAC-based One-time Password Algorithm (HOTP), for authenticating users of mobile applications by Google. The service implements algorithms specified in RFC 6238 and RFC 4226.[2]
Authenticator provides a six- to eight-digit one-time password which users must provide in addition to their username and password to log in to Google services or other sites. The Authenticator can also generate codes for third-party applications, such as password managers or file hosting services. Previous versions of the software were open-sourced but subsequent releases are proprietary.[3]

Step 3:
Read over the warning, and finalize if you wish to proceed.
Step 4:
Keep this page open, and proceed to the next part. We will come back to this page soon.
Download the google authenticator app:
For Chrome
For Firefox
For iOS
(Google Authenticator on App Store)
For Android

Step 5:
Using chrome to demonstrate, all apps have very similar processes.
Click the little pen icon at the top right:
Select Add, then manual entry:
Input a username(doesn't need to be your TLOPO one), and paste the secret that you were given on Step 4. Time based is the better option, so just click ok!
Step 6:
You will now be prompted to enter the 6 digit code whenever you login. The code will change every 30 seconds. It can be a hassle at times, but the extra security makes up for it.
