We are currently exploring a few options and would like your guidance on the following:

1. **Is there a way to present a list of supported authenticator apps for users to choose from _before_ the MFA enrollment QR code is shown?**  
Essentially, we want users to see options such as Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, etc., before they reach the barcode screen.

2. **How can we provide clear and customizable instructions to help users download an authenticator app during the MFA setup flow?**  
Our goal is to guide users (especially first-time users) with steps or links for installing apps like Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator.

Hi @anirudh.bharti

Welcome to the Auth0 Community!

Thank you for posting your question. Based on the details, I would suggest trying the Auth0 Forms. You will be able to customize the user journey after signing up, with dedicated steps/instructions for setting up the Authenticator.

You can read more about forms here → [Forms](https://auth0.com/docs/customize/forms)

Here’s a link for the pre-made templates → [Auth0 Forms Templates](https://developer.auth0.com/resources/templates/forms?_gl=1*ro4btd*_gcl_au*MTY3ODQ2MDYwNS4xNzU4NTU0Nzcw*_ga*MTczMjQwNjQyMC4xNzQxMDk1MDU1*_ga_QKMSDV5369*czE3NjQzNTIyMjIkbzI1OSRnMSR0MTc2NDM1Nzg4MyRqNDckbDAkaDA).

Thanks!  
Dawid
