* On the authentication page, use Google Authenticator to scan the QR code or manually enter the code, then click "Enable".

{% hint style="info" %}
*Google Authenticator is a 2FA app by Google, enhancing account security. It generates time-based, one-time passcodes (TOTPs) for logins.*

*It's considered secure due to offline operation and short-lived codes, typically 30 seconds, making it less vulnerable to remote attacks. Using Google Authenticator is vital for added account security, requiring a regularly changing code alongside a password, protecting against unauthorized access and security breaches.*

* After completing the process, users are required to wait for a system audit, typically taking place one day after their registration date. Following the audit, the users' application amount will be deposited directly into the trust account of LADT's designated escrow bank. \
  \
  Simultaneously, through contract execution, the corresponding amount of USDA will be generated and transferred to the user's wallet (My Wallet) or the multiple signature wallet established by LADT (LADT Secured Vault) for safekeeping, providing users with convenient access to view and manage their assets at a later time.

{% hint style="info" %}
*Throughout this process, monitor your emails for the subject line that includes "LADT" and the collaborating escrow bank, ensuring timely confirmation of operations.*
