  Can I use two step authentication without using a mobile device? (I mean, I’d get the txt on my mobile, but I don’t enter it via an app.) Is that possible? Am I able to enter the code that gets texted to my phone onto my desktop?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hello @tg85,
  Yes you can.
  You can click Send Recovery Code via Text at the time of login to receive code via text(If you have setup to enter codes via the App).

  Or else follow this guide to setup Two Step Authentication via SMS:

  Hope this helps 🙂
