 Description   

Improve the documentation related to 2FA for MMS on http://mms.mongodb.com/help/core/settings/:

  • Mention the various apps other than Google Authenticator for various platforms (based on the fact that not everyone owns an Android / iPhone).
  • Mention steps for accessing codes (in-lieu of scanning code) for shared application login.

We should also emphasize that this is not associated with any Google accounts, even if the address you use for MMS is a Gmail address. Here is how (on Android) to avoid setting up 2FA for the available Google Account:

  1. Install Google Authenticator from the Play Store
  2. Run Google Authenticator
  3. Click "Begin Setup"
  4. Under "Manually Add an Account", select "Scan a barcode"
  5. Scan the barcode that MMS provides
  6. Follow the remaining 2FA setup instructions
