Do you happen to know if they allow you to also totally disable SMS 2FA?
I know that Vanguard, for instance, supports non-SMS 2FA but doesn't let you disable SMS as a fallback (and I'd rather not just totally remove all phone numbers, but maybe I have to...).
- 6ak74rfy 4y agoYeah, in Fidelity SMS 2FA is disabled for me. Fall back is to call them to get into my account. Don’t know about Schwab.
- stanleydrew 4y agoI had their non-SMS Symantec 2FA set up a couple years back, but turned it off cause I couldn't figure out how to disable the SMS fallback. Every time I got a new device and wanted to set up the Symantec TOTP generator they would just send me a SMS for validation. So I just told them to turn off the Symantec part. Maybe they've changed their policy since then. But when you call to get set up on a new device, how do they verify your identity now if you don't have SMS fallback?
- yborg 4y agoI believe you can remove SMS fallback now on Vanguard.
- livueta 4y agoNeat, thank you! I'll give it a try.
