I am lost after 4 minutes on this video, too much information. I being trying to use 2AF but I get stuck when typing the number because is only 30 seconds and always get "invalid number". I installed the 2AF on my android and my laptop. But wasn't able to find the extension on my browser to start the authenticator. Maybe the question is, where do I find my authenticator tab in my laptop. The easiest way I found was have my android open and my laptop open.

I use Microsoft Authenticator because it has app lock feature. That way, 2FA codes will not be easily accessed, at least for a while since you lock the app by PIN or biometrics.

You have a QR code on the iPhone screen. How do you “point your camera at it”? You can’t aim an iPhone camera at the screen of the same device. Or is that possible?

[@Craylor]

You can’t use the QR code directly if it’s on the same device as where you are setting up Google Authenticator. Most, if not all sites also display a code under the QR code (you can see it in the example of this video). You can copy that code and use the “enter a setup key” option in Google Authenticator to do it all on the same device.
