4. If the new account you want to add shows you a QR code to scan with an authenticator app, tap Use QR code from Duo Mobile's Add account list. Scan the QR code with your camera to add the account.

5. Use Duo Mobile to scan the application's QR code shown on your screen.

6. Give the new account a name in Duo Mobile and tap Save to return to the accounts list.

7. Finally, tap the indicator next to the account name in Duo Mobile to generate a passcode which expires in 30 seconds. Type the passcode (without a space) into the application's verification prompt on your computer to verify that the passcode generator is working properly. Then click "Next" or "Finish" or whatever link completes authenticator app registration
