Search for a QR code scanner in the Google Play Store. There are plenty.

Okay thank's for the info but even if I did search for a QR code scanner on my phone that doesn't help with the authy app? I need to scan the bar code from Firefox not just a QR bar code scanner itself in order to use the Authy app?

What do I need to do in order to see the QR barcode scanner from Firefox itself? I looked on the webbrowser but I didn't see anything that said on what to do with and or to find the barcode?

Hi

When you are using a site or an app (like Google Authenticator) it should be asking you for a code to type in, or to scan a QR barcode. If you select the barcode option, the app (or Firefox) should ask to use the camera to view the barcode.
