    Hi ​@Tommy6.

     

    Thank you for your post.

     

    2FA (Two-Factor Authentication) is an extra layer of security used by apps and websites to verify your identity, usually by sending a one-time code via SMS or through an authentication app.

     

    If you’re trying to use your iD Mobile eSIM for 2FA codes, this should work as normal once your number is fully active and able to receive SMS messages. There isn’t a separate 2FA setup on the SIM itself, as it’s managed by the individual apps or services you’re using.

     

    If you’re not receiving verification codes, we’d recommend checking the following:

    Your eSIM is correctly installed and active
    You have network signal and can send/receive standard SMS messages
    Your number is correctly registered with the service you’re trying to use

     

    If the issue continues, please contact us directly so we can review your account and investigate further for you: https://www.idmobile.co.uk/live-chat.

     

    We’ll be happy to help.

     

    Thanks,
