Setting up SMS for myAdventist login

Improve your login security by enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) in myAdventist. 2FA is the addition of a second login step. Normally when you log in to an account, you provide a username and password. When two-factor authentication is enabled, you also must provide that additional information before you're given access to the account.
Adding 2FA to your myAdventist login means that means that once you enter your username and password, you can then receive an SMS to your mobile phone or otherwise enter a code generated by an Authenticator app (either on your mobile/tablet/pc/mac) to complete the login process. Instructions for SMS are below, or see Authenticator instructions
