Recording company name with authenticator app #152
Description
In your demo, you have:
// substitute your company or app name here
$tfa = new RobThree\Auth\TwoFactorAuth(new RobThree\Auth\Providers\Qr\QRServerProvider());
But it's not clear where to put the company name. I tried:
$tfa = new RobThree\Auth\TwoFactorAuth(new RobThree\Auth\Providers\Qr\QRServerProvider('Company Name'));
... but after scanning the QR code, the Google Authenticator app I'm using does not show the company name. It only shows the user email from:
$tfa->getQRCodeImageAsDataUri($username, $secret);
How do we enter the company name for the authenticator app?
Thanks for any help.

... and now with the company name, as you clarified:

@jamminjames Feel free to submit a PR with the changes would have liked to have seen in the doc ;)

Never submitted a PR before, looked at it and didn't know what to use for "Compare changes," but in Getting Started, under "Create an instance," you could list the example you used in the demo, which I ended up using (with the company name option added),
...as it is the simplest/easiest way to go, as far as I can see.
