How do I change my 2-step verification settings?

You have 3 ways to use for 2-step verification. You can receive a code by text message or phone call, receive a notification in the Wise app, or use a separate authenticator app.

Using the app is more reliable, because it only needs the internet connection to work. It’s the best option if you have problems with your phone, or if you’re planning to travel.

You can download the Wise app for free from the App Store or Google Play.

Set text message as your 2-step verification method

  1. If you're using the Wise website, click your name in the top-right corner. If you're using the app, tap your initials or profile picture in the top-left corner of your home screen

  2. Go to Privacy and Security

  3. Select 2-step verification and then text message. Make sure the switch is turned off

  4. If you have an authenticator app paired, remove it from your Wise account. Text message should then be your default verification method
