How do I set up SMS two-factor authentication?

Setting up SMS two-factor authentication is a simple way to add extra protection to your account. You can do this quickly in just a few steps.

Here’s how to set it up:

1. Log in to your account

2. Click your name in the top right-hand corner

3. Choose the ‘Profile’ option

4. Scroll down to the ‘Security’ section

5. Click ‘Update your 2 factor authentication details’ and follow the instructions

Why is it important?

SMS two-factor authentication helps keep your account more secure by requiring a second step to verify your identity when you log in. Even if someone has your password, they won’t be able to access your account without the code sent to your mobile phone.

How does it work?

Once SMS 2FA is turned on, after you enter your password, we’ll send a verification code to your mobile phone number for you to enter before you can access your account.
