SMS authentication sends a one-time code to your phone each time you need to verify your identity.

To set up SMS authentication, take the following steps:

1. Sign in to Sinch ID and select the Sign-in & Security option form the left menu:

4. If this is your first MFA method, Sinch ID shows a recovery code:

   Copy or write it down and store it somewhere safe. You will need it if you lose access to all of your MFA methods.
   
   Note: The recovery code only appears when you enrol your first MFA method. If you already have another method enabled, this step is skipped.
   
   

A confirmation message is displayed informing you that the setup is complete. You can safely close this tab.
