Ifyou set up 2-Step Verification, you can use the Google Authenticator app to generate codes to sign in to your Google Account. You can still generate codes without an internet connection or mobile service. Learn more about 2-Step Verification.
You can save your codes safely in your Google Account with Google Authenticator. This helps protect you from being locked out of your account when you change devices. However, you may instead choose to use Google Authenticator without these protections.
If your device is lost or stolen, you should immediately ensure that any codes stored on the device cannot be accessed by others. To remove the codes, use the remote erase device option for iOS or Android. If this option is unavailable, you can choose between the following options:

Excellent info- we like receiving verification code by text (is very fast_)-
BUT FYI some companies like Panasonic send the code -called OTP for "one time pass"_ by EMAIL only'; it took 30 minutes to arrive and get it--their server is so slow--a real pain, We spent 2 h and tried 10 times to get it to register for their 12 months warranty-!!-
This is not true. Some companies like Fidelity Investments have poor business practices. Just this week I was on the phone with Fidelity customer support to rollover funds over to a new brokerage firm and I was sent a OTP code that they asked for. I wasn't going to do it but in the text it specifically says "Don't give to anyone unless customer support asks for it", so I did and the transfer went through just fine. In my opinion this is a slippery slope since this business practice is not normal and getting people used to giving out the code to customer support (or anyone) is a bad idea. We need to get Fidelity to quit doing this, so that we NEVER have to give out the OTP code...
Exactly! I just commented this same thing about T-Mobile customer service and then saw your comment. I suggested that the article specify that it's referring to incoming communications that weren't initiated by yourself at the same time
Gan verification codes be hacked? Suppose the hacker gets your log in details, then hang on to it then later on use man in the middle system to get your verification code, so when you think you're sending it to your bank for confirmation, they are able to intercept the info and gain access to your account. Personally, I am a bit doubtful of this method as there can be a way of intercepting....of course, nothing is totally safe, but I do not trust this method for my banking.
I got a phone call from a email account I had no idea of how they were able to call me from a email address?
I didn't answer the call, I didn't recognize the name on the email address either..
Can you please send me the answer to my questions?
Thank you in advance.
Verification code to login to your account protect you from hackers and scammers. What l like about the Verification code is that it always different from the other codes and valid for a few short minutes
Thanks for educating people.
I was a victim or a scam that was about contacting Hewlett Packard to get tech support for my printer. Was transferred to scammers. Charged me for fake software. Contacted me my bank about card charges.
AI followed my wireless bank call. Criminals had a team using voice intercept & cut out bank
Connection. I had no clue. Man
called me next morning posing as BANK Fraud Investigator.
He got my account number & stole 16k from my money maker account!. My retirement is at risk now. Horrible!!
Why would T-Mobile customer service need to send me a code after I have already verified my account at the start of the call with the automated system? The same text messaged codes that state: "Your T-Mobile ID verification code is XXXXX. For your security never share your verification code. T-Mobile will never contact you to ask for your code."
This article should specify that it is referring to inbound communications that you didn't initiate yourself. (Although I still don't see why T-Mobile and many other customer service departments even use automated verification systems when they need you to go through and verify all the exact same information right afterwards
i have registered my domain at squarespace and set up a custom email adress with g suite: mail@...
i can send and receive emails with this address.
however, when i try to verify the email address when setting up a sender profile, squarespace says that the email with the verification code has been sent, but i don't receive any mail - don't find it in the spam or elsewhere...
anybody knows hot to solve this problem?
oh, i found the solution - actually quite easy. i contacted the squarespace support and they found out that the email address hat been put on a block list. don't know why, but they just took it off and then it worked.
so writing to the support might be a solution :)
I've tried so many times to verify my domain email to use email campaigns and I never receive the verification code. I'm receiving other emails to that account but for some reason not receiving this email. I've already sent a message to Squarespace but haven't heard back yet. Anyone have any advice?
Another user said square space had blocked their email and they had to manually unblock them but I'm having trouble finding the chat button. I'm out of options and desperate for any advice. Who would think my to do list for ALL DAY was to figure out why square space can't send a verification code. This is so disappointing for entrepreneurs
Reach out to support. At some point, somebody somewhere reported the URL as spam. Could be on social media or an email. This causes it to be blocked. I've ran into on my own domains in the past. They can remove it from the blocked list and you should be able to get the verification code.
Having the same issue right now with not recieving the verification code in my new business gmail account. How do I contact Squarespace to have them remove my email from the block list?? @iridescentmatters
I have been having the same problem and it is extremely frustrating. I can send emails and I can recieve emails but I cannot recieve the verification code from squarespace. Has anyone found a solution to this?? Where do I email support at?? I tried reaching out to
custom...@squarespace.com and was notified that their support email is no longer active.
Great, yet chat *still not available* (doubt it ever will be), and emailing does not give this problem anything close to a topic to choose. So I have no idea someone in the right department will even get it.
And please don't tell me whoever gets it will work on it... I might choke from laughing. ?
I submit my email address for a verification code and get nothing. I click on "resubmit code" and get the first code (apparently) which comes back as invalid. "Resubmit" again, another code comes. Again invalid. I'm ready and willing to transcribe names, but can't get in.
We are sorry to hear you're experiencing trouble receiving the correct verification code for transcribing. We have forwarded your issue on to our developers but wanted to check if you were still having issues accessing the transcription interface?
I should have indicated that my email address (
att.net) self-populates, so it absolutely is correct every time I submit it. I also have another email address that I use (.gmail) that tried and it also had problems. I use an Apple computer so switched from the Safari browser to Chrome and also experienced problems yesterday, although not as many.
This morning (5:30am) I got logged in, but it looks like my submissions from yesterday aren't there. I went to a page I know I typed and I'm not getting any indication of lines that know are done. Then I went to the next page that I know I haven't typed, put in line one and got a message error message - "Please try again. You've used a word or phrase that isn't allowed.". I tried another name and that isn't allowed either, so I know it's not a rogue swear word that I wasn't aware of.
The error message "Please try again. You've used a word or phrase that isn't allowed." happened on line 1 the first time and then I tried line 7. This is a screen shot from line 7. They were both the same and I haven't tried transcribing anything else today for fear that my work is in vain.
Also, before today, when I went back to a sheet that I've already worked on, when I click on "Help us transcribe names," It would pop up with the transcription by line numbers that had already been done and I could scroll across one by one to see if all the names were there and where I had left off. Just saying it's not doing that now and I'm not sure if what I transcribed is really there.
Thank you for the additional information and for sharing this screenshot. We are sorry you experienced this error, and we have reported it to our developers to investigate. It is possible that it was a temporary glitch within the system when you submitted this transcription. Would you mind trying to transcribe this same name again to see if you are able to successfully submit the transcription? If you notice this issue again, it may help to refresh or reload the page before attempting to submit the transcription again.
Additionally, if you initiate the transcription tool and see names with line numbers, it means that those names have been submitted and accepted. If a name is not listed within the transcription window, you are welcome to transcribe and submit the name. Thank you for your work transcribing the 1950 Census.
