Download and install the Google Authenticator app on your smartphone. 2. Open the app and tap on the '+' button to add a new account. 3. Choose the option to scan a QR code. 4. In your cryptocurrency wallet's settings, enable two-factor authentication (2FA) and select Google Authenticator as the preferred method. 5. Scan the QR code displayed on your wallet's settings page using the Google Authenticator app. 6. The app will generate a unique six-digit code that refreshes every 30 seconds. 7.
