    Hi @rashidavc18,

    We do not offer SMS or email methods of verifying our 2FA, you’d need to scan the QR code into a smartphone or password management app of your choice and use the time-sensitive code.

    The reason we specifically don’t allow email is down to the high likelihood a user is using the same email account for 2FA and site registration. If this account was compromized, somebody with bad intentions would have immediate access to both password reset and 2FA codes, effectively making it only 1 factor of protection.

    Thanks,
    Peter.
