To do this you will need to install an authenticator app on your mobile phone if you don't already have one. There are a range of authenticator apps for Android phones and iPhones including Google Authenticator and Microsoft Authenticator - they all work in a similar way.

Be aware you will never be asked to pay any money when signing up to activate your Lawmaker account. This is a scam. If you are asked to subscribe or make a payment, stop immediately and remove the app from your phone. |

There are many fake apps, which will look very similar to the genuine Microsoft or Google Apps, and these may ask you to pay an annual or monthly subscription fee to use the app. The genuine apps will never ask for payment. They are free. Some of these fake apps may also mine your phone for personal data and/or share password or MFA tokens with unauthorised third parties putting Lawmaker, other corporate systems and potentially your own digital identity at risk. |

Ensure you are downloading the app from a reliable source such as Google Pay store or Microsoft. A genuine app, may not be the first on the list, so scroll down a bit and check. Under the name of the App, will be the source - for Google it will be Google LLC, and for Microsoft it be Microsoft Corporation (check the spelling carefully, fake apps may have just one wrong letter). Tap on the app to open it and then tap on the source name and you will be taken to the organisation’s web site. Check the web site carefully. If the logo looks slightly odd (maybe a slightly different colour or shape), or there are spelling mistakes in the text, it’s likely a fake authenticator. If all looks good, download the app and proceed with the instructions. Remember you will never be asked to pay for the app or take out subscription. Stop at this point and delete the app. |
Lawmaker will display a QR code on the screen. Open your authenticator app and use it click on the plus sign to add a new account. Follow the instructions in the app to scan the code that is shownon your computer’s screen. This will link your Lawmaker user account with the authenticator app and the app will start producing codes that can be used for signing in to Lawmaker.
