Hiya,

How would I go about adding some 2fa to smartermail?  Is there a way to have it use text messages? Im getting alot of insurance companies enforcing a 2fa policy.

Hey Marc, 

Thank you for reaching out to the community. Using text messaging with 2FA is not secure and is not recommended. Please see this article for how this has been exploited. https://www.cnet.com/news/privacy/do-you-use-sms-for-two-factor-authentication-heres-why-you-shouldnt/


But if you have to do this you can do it the following way. Set the Verification Method to Recovery Email Address

Then you can send it to the phone by doing like 

Here is a list and instructions on how to send an email to a phone as a text message. 


Please let me know if you have any questions. 

Kind Regards,
