Step 7: Return to the Gate TR app, paste the copied code into the marked field, and enter your email or SMS verification code. Tap Activate to complete the setup.
Tip: If you get an “invalid code” warning or feel time is too short, first paste the email/SMS code, then get your Authenticator code and paste it. Since email/SMS codes are valid longer, you’ll have time to complete the process before the Authenticator code expires.
