Updating your account security phone numbers

Clicking on the Update your phone numbers used for account security link opens a new page and lands you in the Additional security verification tab. This is where you can set up security verification methods and choose your preferred method.

At a minimum, I highly suggest that you set up an authentication phone, preferably using your mobile (for text and voice message verification), and also set up an authenticator app. You can go to the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store and download your preferred authenticator app.

I highly suggest the Microsoft authenticator app. The authenticator app is more secure than text messaging your authentication phone, but you may need a backup method if your phone is lost, stolen, broken, or traded for a new phone and you need to set the app back up on a new phone, or if the app fails for some reason:

Remember to click on the Save button once you have finished adding or editing your options.
