First steps

Assuming that you successfully got Flipper Authenticator application on your Flipper Zero device, what to do next?

First of all, connect your Flipper Zero device to qFlipper application to sync Flipper Zero clock and make sure it is precise. Remember, you have to do it from time to time, because Flipper Zero device has known clock-drifting problem.

Then, well, it may sound obvious, but START the APP! 😄

Once you start application for the first time it will ask you whether you want to setup PIN or not:

Regardless of your choice, all secret information will be encrypted, PIN is just adding one more factor to the encryption key. So just in case if you would like app to ask PIN every time you are opening Flipper Authentication - set it up, by picking "Yes", otherwise - do not set it up, by picking "No".

If you decide to setup pin, they you will be brought to the next screen, asking you to provide PIN sequence:

Use directional pad on Flipper Zero device to enter PIN sequence, and then confirm your PIN by pressing "OK" (central) button on directional pad.

Regardless of whether you setup PIN or not, but finally you will be brought to "Token list" screen:

Initially this list is empty. But before we add first token, let's setup correct timezone offset.

Because of Flipper Zero API doesn't provide an access to timezone offset it is necessary to set it manually for correct TOTP codes generation. You may find your timezone offset (or another name is "UTC offset") here, here, here or on any other website found in google.

Once you found your timezone offset, press "OK" (central) button on directional pad of your Flipper Zero device to get to Flipper Authenticator menu:

Then use directional pad on your Flipper Zero device to navigate to "Settings" menu:

Once you come to "Settings" menu, use directional pad on your Flipper Zero device to set your timezone offset.

Once done, use "arrow down" key on directional pad to move to the end of "Settings" menu, until you see and select "Confirm" button.

Press "OK" (central) button on directional pad of you Flipper Zero device, to confirm changes you made.

Once done, you will be redirected back to "Menu" screen. Press "Back" button on your Flipper Zero device to return back to "Token list" screen.

At this point you should be ready to add your first token to the app. Consider using this guide to do that.
