How do I set it up?

You'll need to pick a device to be your authenticator. You can use a smartphone or you can use any modern web browser on your computer. Decide whether you will be using your phone or your browser as your authenticator.

Suggestion

NDRN recommends using a phone, but either will work.

Follow the corresponding section's steps: Phone Authentication Setup if using a phone or Browser Authentication Setup if using a browser.

The details vary, but the process each of the sections will have you follow is the same:

  1. Install an authenticator (if you don't already have one).

  2. Attempt to log in to DAD using your username and password. DAD will present you with a QR code and a CHALLENGE PHRASE.

  3. In your authenticator, scan the QR code or enter the CHALLENGE PHRASE. This creates a DAD authenticator entry

  4. Enter a code from your new DAD authenticator entry into DAD to confirm that setup worked

Clarification

Much like a password, the codes your authenticator will make will work on any of your devices.

Advanced Tip

If you want, you can set up DAD authenticator entries on as many devices as you want.
