Posted on May 7, 2014

Hi. I’d like to enable TFA but I have a Windows phone, so I can’t install Google Authenticator. Any way I can use TFA? Thanks

I don’t have a windows phone to test this myself, but you could try using Authenticator from the windows phone app store. It should allow you to scan the QR code and show the digits needed to login.

Thanks. I got it working with Authenticator by Jamie Garside. All good now.
