What is two-step verification?
Two-step verification or two-factor authentication (2FA) is a verification step that makes the sign-in experience to your Adobe account more secure. When you activate two-step verification, you're prompted to enter a verification code sent to your email or phone or approve a notification using the Adobe Account Access app each time you try to sign in to your account.
You can select your preferred authentication method to receive the verification code or notification either on the Adobe Account Access app, email address, or mobile phone.
How to set up two-step verification

- In the Two-step verification section, select your preferred verification method or methods: Adobe Account Access app, email, or text message (SMS).
- When you select any of these methods, you're prompted to select a backup verification method. This prevents you from getting locked out of your account if you don't have access to your mobile phone or email.
- Follow the onscreen instructions to activate two-step verification.
