- Tap “Devices.”
- Turn on “Allow Multi-device.”
- Now, on your second device, install Authy.
- Once installed, open the Authy app. When prompted, enter the phone number of your primary device.
- A popup will appear reading “Get Account Verification Via.” Tap “Use Existing Device.”
- Go back to your primary device now. A notification will ask you to verify the addition of the new device. Tap “Accept.”
- When prompted to approve this decision, type “OK, or Yes” in the entry field.
- Return to “Settings” on your primary device and tap “Devices” again.
- You will now see two “trusted” devices connected to the two-factor services you enable with Authy.
