Setting up 2FA on sites that aren't on 2fa.directory

I'm trying to set up 2FA on a site that supports it, but isn't listed in 2fa.directory. How do I go about doing this?

    @brb1081:

    It is also possible that this website does not support 2FA via TOTP. Out of curiosity, what options does the website offer you to setup 2FA?

    @brb1081 You need to go to each website where you have an account. It's different on every website and not all sites support it, but in your account settings there's usually a section headed security, two factor authentication (2FA), two step verification (2SV), or multi-factor authentication (MFA). Select the option to add an authenticator app and a QR code will usually be displayed. Then follow the instructions linked above.

    I don't see an option to add 2FA on that particular item.

    Hi @brb1081!

    You can always scan the QR code if a website offers you one to activate 2FA:

    Where are you getting stuck exactly?
