2 factor authentication in Mexico

socanadian
Great Neighbour / Super Voisin

Hello,

 

I have a public mobile Canadian phone number.   Currently I am in Mexico using a Mexican SIM with a Mexican Phone #.

 

I need access to an online account of mine that is set up with 2 factor Authentication.

 

Is there a way I can forward texts from my Public Mobile phone # to my Mexican #?

If not is there another way I can get access to my online account?  

 

Please note, there is nobody I can call to change my 2 factor authorization via phone at the company.

 

Thanks in advance!

Lol...I think you are both assuming the OP is asking about their pm account whereas I read the message as an online account other than the pm self serve account ie. like a bank account or Facebook etc....?

You'll have to get help with access to your account from a Customer Support Agent.

 

Use the Chatbot Simon to get a service ticket started.

Or send a private message to CS_Agent

Do you have the option to send the 2FA code by phone call to your pm voicemail rather than by text message?

hi @socanadian no, you cannot forward text to Mexican number 

can't you receive the code in email?

 

if not, ask CS agent help
