I'd like to set up two-step verification. However, it seems that it requires a cell phone with text messaging. I read that you can add an authenticator (e.g., Google Authenticator), but the Intuit web pages indicate that is an *additional* step AFTER setting up and verifying one's cell phone # with a text message.
Oddly, elsewhere, Intuit's help pages mention that the two-step process can involve EITHER a text message or a phone call. (See next post.)
I've hesitated to set up two-step verification because I can see a nightmare of it requiring & trying to send a text message to a landline -- and, then, my never getting back into the account again! I'd rather not gamble and end up having to go through the hassles of Account Recovery.
Can anyone confirm whether Intuit will call a landline or whether you can set up an authenticator without using a cell phone and receiving a text message?
Thanks!
