How to change 2FA to SMS Authentication?

SMS 2-factor authentication provides a significant security boost over Email 2-factor authentication by requiring the possession of a mobile device, which helps to prevent account takeovers from stolen email mailboxes and passwords alone.

To step-up in your account security and change the 2-factor authentication to SMS please follow the below steps:

  1. Enter your Account settings and go to the Security tab. Find a dedicated 2-Factor Authentication section and click on a toggle next to your masked phone number:

On the right, the "Security" section shows options for managing the password, and enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) via Google Authenticator (recommended), a phone number, or an email address. Below that is an "Advanced security" section with options for Passkeys and "Anti-Phishing code." At the very bottom are "Active sessions" and "Last logins" sections.

     
  2. You will see an informational popup sharing some important details about this process and our recommendations. Confirm the choice by clicking on Yes, change 2FA to phone number button:

Below, the question "Do you want to increase your security by using the 2FA phone number method?" is asked, followed by a message informing the user they have a maximum of three attempts to start the verification process. At the bottom are two buttons: "Yes, change 2FA to phone number" and "No, cancel".

     
  3. Confirm that the phone number associated with your zondacrypto account is still in your possession by entering the OTP code we have sent you via an SMS text message:
