There currently are three ways to import codes into Code Guard.
Note: Code Guard will automatically detect if you are scanning a Google Authenticator export QR code and will import all contained 2FA codes.
Scanning a QR code is the easiest and most common way to import codes. A website/service will usually give you a QR code when you setup 2FA on your account.
