Question

Is there another way for me to receive a verification code besides using my Galaxy device?

Answer

Yes, there are three alternative authentication methods available for two-step verification, aside from 'Galaxy device notification (Verify with Galaxy device)'. Choose the method that best suits your preferences.

Verify with text message - You'll receive a verification code via SMS on your registered mobile number.

Verify with OTP app - Use an authenticator app like Samsung Pass, Authy, or LastPass to generate a time-based one-time password (OTP).

Verify with backup code - These are emergency codes provided during two-step verification setup. Keep them safe and use them when accessing your account without access to your primary devices or if your primary methods fail. To view your backup codes, follow these steps:

On a web browser: Go to Security > Password and security > Two-step verification > Backup codes.

On your mobile device: Open Settings > Accounts and backup > Manage accounts > Select your Samsung account > My profile > Security and privacy > Two-step verification > Backup codes.
