How to enable QR Code with two-factor authentication (Google Passcode)?

Solution
QR code is a type of digital password that allows the customer to any ACTAtek device with the built-in camera function to support it. For example, ACTA4-1K-P-C (*PIN model with built-in camera) means that it does not need to have a Facial model or a Smart Card model to make it work.
 
Google Authenticator is a mobile app that generates verification codes for 2-Step Verification, adding an extra layer of security to your QR Code User account. You can use Google Authenticator to sign in to your ACTAtek account with a QR code, instead of entering a password.

Here are the steps to create a QR code user with Google Authenticator Key on ACTAtek or AMS:
 
1. Download and install the Google Authenticator app on your smartphone. You can find it on the Google Play Store for Android devices or the App Store for iOS devices.
 
2. Login to ACTAtek WEB UI and go to ''Authentication Log Setup'' and then enable ''Gauth Mode'' as 2Fector Authentication.
 
3. Log in to your ACTAtek or AMS account on your computer. Go to the user account section and click the KEY button next to the G Authenticator Key to enable the passcode key.
 
4. A QR code will be generated and displayed on the screen for G Authenticator.
 
5. Open the Google Authenticator app on your smartphone and tap on the plus icon (+) at the bottom right corner. Choose Scan a QR code and point your camera at the G Authenticator QR code on your computer screen. The app will scan the code and add your ACTAtek or AMS account to the list of accounts.
 
6. Click on Save User to finish creating the QR code user. You can now share the QR code with the end user by sending it via email, printing it, or saving it as an image file.
 
7. Scan the QR code at ACTAtek device and it will ask you to enter the 6-digit passcode. Now open the app on your smartphone and enter the verification code that appears next to your account name. The access will be granted when both credentials (QR+Passcode) are matched. Please check the sample events in below attachment.
 
Note:
 
1. For AMS or AMS SaaS, the QR code icon will not show up until a Smart Card number is entered/saved.
 
2. Please keep at least 20 cm distance when accessing the device from mobile device’s saved QR code.
 
3. As for the printed hardcopy of QR code, please ensure that the QR code size is 3.5 CM * 3.5 CM.
