It is much easier to set this up when you have both your laptop and phone but it can be done with only the phone.
On your phone: You will need to download an authenticator app called Google Authenticator. Google Authenticator is a free app that is available for any Android or iOS phone from Google Play or the Apple App Store.

On your phone: After downloading Google Authenticator, simply open the app and follow any prompts. Setting up the Authenticator App on your phone should look something similar to the following... (but with the updated icon).
On your laptop: If you are setting up district email for the first time, (either a new account or an existing account on a new device) you will be prompted to provide more information after entering your school email address and password.
Click Next at this screen.
If you are using Google Authenticator as suggested, you will need to click on the smallish link that reads "I want to use a different authenticator app" (see image below). Click that link instead of clicking Next.
You will then be presented with a QR Code that you will scan with your phone using Google Authenticator.
On the Phone: Select the little plus sign (+) and then select "Scan a QR code"
That should be it! Enter the current displayed code from your phone, into the Enter Code field on the laptop, and click Verify
Please note, the code changes every 30 seconds.
