At the app's second screen, you will be presented with two options: “Scan a QR code” or “Enter a setup key”. For this example, select “Enter a setup key”.
Once you have entered the setup key, Google Authenticator will generate a code.
Enter this code into the Wi-Fi network access screen on your device.
Click Verify to complete the process and gain access to the Wi-Fi network.
