Step 2: 

If MFA is enabled on your account, you will be prompted for your username (firstname.lastname) and your Passcode (not password) from the Google Authenticator app. 

NOTE: If MFA is down or not yet enabled on your account, you will not see this login.  Instead, it will ask for your password. If that is the case, please login like normal.

Enter the Passcode in the VMware Login screen from step 2
