1 Disabling Add Ons in Browsers

Some user interfaces can be blocked by browser add-ons during the registration process or when changes are made afterwards, such as the "Second Factor (2FA)" and SSH settings. Please disable all privacy tools, ad blockers and further add-ons when registering new tokens.

For Chrome, we recommend using "Incognito Mode" when configuring 2FA and SSH. For Firefox, please use the "Troubleshoot Mode".
