+As you have not activated the OTP feature until after a successful login using the OTP value, the QR code will display again.  Simply click ''OK'' on both the popups and continue for connection.  Once you have logged in the OTP is now activated and the QR popup will no longer be displayed on login.

+===== Lost One Time Password Access =====
+If a user that has the OTP activated loses access to their authenticator (lost or damaged device etc), setting the One Time Password ''Enabled'' field to ''False'' will turn off the requirement to enter a OTP when logging in.
+Setting the  One Time Password ''Enabled'' field to ''True'' will restart the adding OTP process for the user upon login.  The secret key will have changed and will need to be added to the new device and then used to login to activate the OTP function.
