There currently are three ways to import codes into Code Guard.
Note: Code Guard will automatically detect if you are scanning a Google Authenticator export QR code and will import all contained 2FA codes.
## Scan QR code
Scanning a QR code is the easiest and most common way to import codes. A website/service will usually give you a QR code when you setup 2FA on your account.
- When in a group, tap on the `+` icon in the upper right corner
- Tap on `Scan QR code`
- Allow access to the camera and scan the code
- The code should now appear in the group
## Scan image
Scanning an image allows you to scan a QR code from e.g. a screenshot.
- When in a group, tap on the `+` icon in the upper right corner
- Tap on `Scan image`
- Select a file from your images
- The code should now appear in the group
## Input manually
This is the most advanced option of adding a code, allowing you to customize all of the parameters of a code.
- When in a group, tap on the `+` icon in the upper right corner
- Tap on `Input manually`
- Fill out the fields
-`Type`: The type of the code (usually TOTP)
-`Name`: Typically your username/email on the service
-`Issuer`: The name of the service which issued the code
-`Secret`: The (base32-encoded) secret provided by the service, this might be displayed alongside the QR code
-`Algorithm`: The hashing algorithm used for generating codes (usually SHA1)
-`Digits`: The number of digits used for codes
-`Add checksum`: If the code requires an additional checksum digit
-`Period`: Used for TOTP codes. Defines the interval at which codes are refreshed (usually 30 seconds).
-`Counter`: Used for HOTP codes. The initial counter value for the HOTP code (usually 0 or 1)
