I can't authenticate using 2 factor authentication
Description

When you set up 2FA, you choose how you want to authenticate:

  • Sage Verify app
  • Authenticator app
  • SMS text
  • Phone call

There are times when you're unable to authenticate using these methods.

For example:

  • You've lost or no longer have access to your old phone
  • Your authenticator app has been deleted
  • Your code isn't being accepted
  • You're not receiving a call or text with your code
  • Your Sage account no longer appears in your authenticator app
  • A different user set up 2FA and you don't have access to their device

No matter the reason, there are other ways you can authenticate your login.
