Or turn it off in settings…Is there a way to get the QR code again to setup on my phone? When I set it up I used my wifes phone and I would prefer to set it up on my own.
Thank you. I did not realize it was an option. It is off now.Or turn it off in settings…
I don't have an issue with using it, I would actually prefer to continue to use it. But until someone can tell me how to get the code to get it on my phone again I will leave it as is. There has to be a way. If someone got a new phone and wasn't able to switch the info over for some reason they would have the same request.Not required, but still recommended. For ALL accounts that support it.
I work in IT and deal with hacked accounts all the time. Scratch that. I USED to. When we switched to 2 factor authentication the successful attacks stopped entirely.
Now I just deal with "Hey, I keep getting these text spams several times a day."
"Send me one." "Holy crap, change your password. Thats a legit code from that vendor, so that means somebody has your password and is trying to log into your account. But since they cant get that code off your phone, they wont be able to log in."
If you go into account, then password settings, you can change it there. It might be best to turn off 2FA then turn it back on and set it up fresh.I don't have an issue with using it, I would actually prefer to continue to use it.
