How to Setup Verifying Your Login by Text Message
Follow these instructions to setup your second login step as entering a 6-digit code sent in a text message to your mobile phone.
The text message option is the most commonly used option for 2-step login and is the easiest to configure. Standard text messaging rates will apply.
Tip: after completing this procedure, we advise you to also set up a phone call to an alternate phone number as a backup, in the event that your phone is lost or stolen, or your phone number changes.
