This article describes the steps to setup the phone method of authentication used for call and text.
Step-by-step
The Phone method allows you to choose if you can prove who you are by answering a call on your phone or by texting a code to your phone. You may use your SSD phone number or a personal number. The image below uses a personal cell phone number and the Text me a code option. *SMS mobile messaging rates may apply.
Select the Phone method from the list.
Enter your 10-digit number (no special characters. e.g., 3145172917) and select the option you prefer. Click the Next button.
You may select Text me a code or Call me.
Locate the code sent to your device and enter it into the box, then click the Verify button.
If you entered the correct number, you will be prompted with a success screen. Click Done.
Now you may use this MFA option when logging into your SSD account.
