<div dir="ltr"><div>Thanks Victoria. The way I use authenticators on PC is by clicking the program authenticator icon adjacent the text-box for entry of the code, as shown graphically below, by the little green Roboform icon.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">I noticed recently that the USPTO added the option to use a security key or Biometric Authenticator as an option. I have no idea how long this has been available, but I only
recently noticed a few weeks ago. I set it up with my Windows Hello fingerprint to log in on my laptop and it\u2019s been so wonderful! No more waiting on a code to be emailed/texted or having to use a code generator authenticator. Of course, I still have the
other options set up as a backup, but using the fingerprint scanner on my laptop to authenticate/login has been a great change. Worth looking into if you haven\u2019t already!<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Also, if you do set this up, I would clear cookies for the PTO website before logging in with the new method so that when you login, it will ask you to set up a new default
type of login you want to use moving forward. You can then choose the biometric method instead of whatever you had set up previously and moving forward the login is much more seamless.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12pt"><span style="font-size:10pt">I\u2019ve always used SMS for 2FA in Patent Center, but figured I should add an authenticator app, too. Since I have MS Authenticator on my phone for Microsoft 365, I figured I\u2019d use

<br>
But when I try to authenticate it, I get \u201cThere was an error with the system, please try again later.\u201d<br>
<br>
Has anyone had this issue, and/or is anyone successfully using MS Authenticator?

Before I call the EFS Help Desk, I want to make sure that it\u2019s not an issue similar to the address book in Assignment Center, which just doesn\u2019t work, full stop.<br>
