Go to settings page for the app and click Add Account
Click Scan Code and click Scan Code button the web page that opens. Take the picture of the QR code with your camera. If the code is detected, you will get a success message. If you get error, please try taking clear picture again
If you get the success message go back to the settings page and click fetch code button. If the request is successful, you should see the information filled out. Make sure the Service and UserId is what you want(There should be no need to update, but if you like a different name feel free to change it. However don’t modify the Secret field)

Enter the code into the verification field prompted by the site
If the site gives you backup codes, please save it in a safe location as they will help you login if you there is a problem with the Auth app
Is it secure
As long as you are not on a public wifi, it should be secure. Read below for how it works
A random key and unique id for the scan is generated on your mobile and sent to my secure site which scans the code
Once you scan the code, the information contained in the code is encrypted with the key that was sent and this encrypted data is sent to my server and this encrypted data is stored in database
All data sent will be deleted in around 5 minutes
When you do Fetch Code on the mobile, both key and unique id is sent to my server, where the data is decrypted and sent back to you. The key nor data is stored anywhere and just sent back to you so no one will be able to read your data other than you
I am working on shifting decryption on mobile itself, however it doesn’t allow users to have best experience so decryption is done on server
