  • The code is delivered to your nominated mobile number

  • Mobile (SMS) delivery of verification codes can be setup in addition to an Authenticator App, as a back up option

Remember, with Mobile (SMS) delivery:

  • Only one mobile number can be nominated

  • If you don’t have good mobile coverage or if there’s a mobile outage in your area, you won’t be able to access any Converge service until you can receive the code, unless you have also setup an Authenticator App.
