Google Authenticator on Android

[Simon Galloway]

Used to use this on my old phone.  Trying to set it up again on my new phone.  It asks you to scan a QR code or enter manually which involves entering a secret key.

Nowhere that I can find in the help sections does it show you where to get the secret key or a QR code!!!

Any help appreciated.

It's not the easiest thing to set up is it? Also, any one-off codes for apps that can't use the two-step authentication will need to be re-done (I think).

Definitely worth doing though, makes your gmail account much more secure, especially important if you rely on it or have an android phone.
