# Adding Codes
|
|
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)
