You should then see a screen, like the one below, where 10 new recovery codes generated.
Save a copy of these codes and store them somewhere safe. If you lose access to your authenticator app, you can use your single use recovery codes to sign in to your account.

On going back to the '2FA' tab, you should then see your device has been added:
Your account is now set up for 2FA and on signing into your Mailock account at any time, you'll be prompted to authenticate with 2FA.
