    • Windows 10 (version 1803 or later)

  2. Double-click on the MSI file to begin the installation process.

  3. Enter your Integration Key, Secret Key, and optionally, a Group ID when prompted. This information is provided by your Twosense account manager.

  4. Reboot after the installation has finished.


Command Line Installation

  1. Download Twosense Installer MSI. The link will be provided by your Twosense account manager.

  2. Open a Command Prompt or PowerShell (as Administrator), and navigate to the file path where the MSI file is located.

  3. Enter the following command (replace with the appropriate MSI filename and parameters): msiexec.exe /i TwosenseAuthenticator-x.y.z.msi /qn+ IKEY="[your key here]" SKEY="[your key here]" GROUPID="[your group id]" \

    • To disable showing the success/failure message post-installation, change the /qn+ to /qn.
