You could install an android emulator on your personal computer then run the authenticator from there.

@toynbee @DeaDvey aren't there authenticators that run on desktop browsers? Or does it have to be a specific one

The OC said in a different comment that you must be on the college network to set it up.

You don't need to tag me, by the way; I get a notification if someone responds to me directly.

sorry, I'm viewing this from mastodon so the setup's different.

All good. Hope you have a great day!

Yes, it's a specific one. App only.

BRB pulling up to a QR code scanner with my 15 inch thinkpad w520 running on 92whr of battery consuming literal watts of power because it's from 2012.

Hopefully i'm not an inconvenience.

The authenticator requires you to be in the college's network to set it up for the first time and I don't have a laptop.

Ah, that does complicate matters. Good luck.
