The “Add account”, offers two options:

AuthenticatorApp_AddFirstAccountOptions

1) Sign In

Once you sign in with your Visma account credentials or with your own external Identity Provider (if you have this option available), the account with that email will be added to the Authenticator app.

Note: In case you already have 2FA enabled from before, you will be asked for your existing  2FA as well when signing in. Use the code generated in your initial Authenticator app to enter 2FA in our Authenticator app  . After signing in successfully, your 2FA codes will be available in our app as well to use them as alternative instead of push when needed.

2) Scan QR code

Scan QR code allows multiple options

  • you will get the account added with push enabled if you scan the QR Code shown on the page displayed in our 2FA Enrollment flow when you chose our Authenticator app or when you enable 2FA from our Account Settings

  • you are able to add TOTP accounts from any provider, including Google, Microsoft, and others by scanning the QR Code shown in those providers when you choose to enable 2FA on their side
