How to Set up Google Authenticator
On your device, go to your Google Account.
At the top, in the navigation panel, tap Security.
Under "Signing in to Google," tap 2-Step Verification. You might need to sign in.
In the "Add more second steps to verify it’s you" section, under the "Authenticator app," tap Set up.
Follow the on-screen steps.
If your code is incorrect, confirm:
You entered the code before it expired.
The time on your device is correct for your local time zone.
If your code is still incorrect, sync your Android device:
On your Android device, open the Google Authenticator app Authenticator.
In the top right, click More and then Time correction for codes and then Sync Now.
On the next screen, the app verifies the time is synced. You can use your verification codes to sign in.
The sync only changes the internal time of your Google Authenticator app. Your device’s Date & Time settings won’t change.
