Purpose: This procedure is used to learn how to authenticate your G5 login using the App option. The App option allows you to authenticate your G5 login using an authenticator app on a smart device. The authenticator app will provide you with a numerical code that you must enter in the Passcode field in G5. The code will be active for 30 seconds. This is the preferred method of the three options as it is the most secure.
To authenticate using this option, you must first download the authenticator application, activate your device, and then retrieve the numerical code.
