	E-mail authentication will be enabled by default if no other method is selected

	Enter your country code and phone number, and then it will send you an SMS Enter the code you received by SMS to verify it is set up correctly
	To use Google Authenticator, download the app to your phone.
	Scan the QR code into the app or enter the text code displayed → You may need this code to restore your account if you lose your phone or delete the Google Authenticator app, so store it somewhere safely.
