Step-by-step setup

1
Sign in to cron-job.org and open your cron-job.org account security settings.

Turn on two-factor authentication and choose the authenticator-app option.

Open MS Authenticator App, tap add, and point your camera at the QR code cron-job.org displays. Can't scan? Enter the setup key manually instead.

Enter the 6-digit code to confirm.
