How to Start Authy

─────────────
_{Tutorial for beginners}

Are you still using google 2FA?

It's a great app,
but have you thought about what if you lose or break your phone someday?
What if you delete the app accidentally?

"Come on Guccigang be positive!"

Well... I will rather be safe than be positive ;)

I saw lots of people whining online how they f*ucked up after
lost or broken their phone.

The worst case, you might lose all of your crypto assets.

"Well, who you're gonna blame?"

There is a way you can avoide all these unfortunate situations.
Just follow me.

The first thing you should do is obviously go to the app store. And download Authy.
　_{※ This tutorial based on iPhone but... don't worry, android guys it's basically same.}

Step.2 set up your cellphone. Click the [+Code] first and,

Choose the country you are in. I'm currently in South Korea so I searched for the Korean code.

Then, they'll send you the registration code.

Verifying your code, and click the + button.

Now, we're at the most important stage. Set up your backups password.

_{※ Don't forget to write down the backups pw somewhere safe. NEVER save it on your phone or computer!!!!}

Now, go to the exchanges like Bittrex, Coin base, Binance etc.
And find the setup 2FA, and scan the QR code.
Even tho they say to use "Google 2FA",
but it's okay you can use Authy instead.

You can make this app even safer at the security section. This is optional, but I recommend you to protect the app with the pin code.

_{※If you're using google 2AF already,

disable it from every single exchange one by one, and then re-set it again.}
