✅ What's Next

• We recommend keeping two or three methods so you always have a backup if you lose access to one. 
• Turning Two-Step Authentication off does not delete your methods. They stay saved and are ready to use again as soon as you turn it back on. 
• Lost access to all your methods? Contact our support team. Once verified, we'll disable 2SA so you can sign back in and add new methods.
