Officials and School Users: Authenticating with a new cell phone

Chances are you did not delete the BlueZebra account in the Twilio Authy app before you surrendered your old cell phone. If you haven't, you will be prevented from authenticating your account with your new cell phone.

The following steps will guide you in installing the Twilio Authy app to your new cell phone and adding BlueZebra as an account within the app, while simultaneously enabling 2FA (Two-Factor authentication) in your officiating.com profile.

Installing the Twilio Authy app and BlueZebra account to your new cell phone 

First, search for and download the "Twilio Authy" app in your phone's App Store. Look for the logo shown here:

To download on Android, click on this url: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.authy.authy&hl=en&pli=1.

Once you have logged in to the app, you will need to delete the existing BlueZebra account. To do so, click on the gear icon (or 3 dots) on the top right-hand side of the screen as outlined in the green box in the image below.

Next, click on the red plus sign in the righthand corner of the screen so that you can add BlueZebra as an account.

You will then be presented with a screen asking you to scan a QR code. Hold tight with your phone for a moment as you will need to turn your attention to your desktop to re-enable 2FA in officiating.com.

Take your cell phone and scan the QR code on your desktop. Once you scan the QR code with your cell phone, the Twilio Authy app will prompt you to save BlueZebra as an account. Click "Save."  You must save the BlueZebra account within the Authy app as you will need to access it whenever you are prompted to authenticate your BlueZebra account.

A 6-digit BlueZebra token will then populate on your phone. Type these six numbers (without spaces) into this section on your desktop.
