Update two-factor authentication to a more secure method
Two-factor authentication (2FA) uses two methods to verify your identity. The first method is your password. The second method uses your email address, by default, to send you a verification code. However, there are other methods of 2FA that are more secure:
Text messaging. The portal sends a verification code to your mobile phone. You enter the verification code when signing into the portal. To update your 2FA to text messaging, refer to the steps below.
An authenticator app. You install an authenticator app on your smartphone. The portal communicates with the app which will prompt you to confirm that you are signing into the portal. To update your 2FA to an authenticator app, click Set up an authenticator app.
On the Security tab, scroll down to Two-factor authentication.
