Authy
Authy is the simplest, secure, and most effective way to verify that your users are who they say they are. Your data can be backed up to Authy's server if your phone is lost or stolen - and afterwards, you can log out the old phone, too. Which makes Authy more relaible.
Here's the step-by-step process
1 Go to Dashboard > Marketplace > MFA.
2 Select Authy.
3 You'll land on the overview page, with an additional tab: Installation (providing a step-by-step installation guide).
4 Click on INSTALL.
5 Authy will be installed, and you will be moved to the MFA Authentication providers page.
6 Click on Authy.
7 You will be directed to the configuration page for the chosen MFA method.
