 * I have recently successfully set up Two Factor Authentication in Wordfence using
   Google Authenticator on my iPhone. I would like to also set it up on my iPad 
   for the same website so if I don’t have my iphone with me I can use my iPad instead
   but now it is set up on my iphone the QR code is no longer visible. Is it possible
   to set up on 2 devices please?

 * Hi [@mikes46](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikes46/),
 * It’s currently not possible to have two different 2FA codes registered under 
   one account on Wordfence.
 * However, if you use an application called `Authy`, it syncs 2FA accounts across
   platforms. That means you can install Authy on both your iPhone and iPad, and
   the 2FA codes displayed on both will be the same.

 * Hi there,
 * wouldn’t it be possible to just use the ‘text version’ (shown below the QR-code
   in wordfence login security settings) on a second device?
 * Peace, Ed’

 * [@eddiebouncer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eddiebouncer/) no because
   when you have used the qr code on one device it disappears. Using Authy app does
   the job though.

 * Hi Mike,
 * Once you scanned the QR-code it’s gone – I meant when you see both the QR-code
   and the text-code initially.
    Anyway good to hear it’s all working nicely now.
 * Peace, Ed’
