Does the RT server ping your email with verification code to enter every time I log into RT like Reverb does when I log onto Reverb?

Does 2FA have to be tied to a phone number or is the email adequate for 2FA?
 
Hello,

You choose when you enable it. Either you receive a one-time code by email, either you configure an authentication app like Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, 1Password, etc.

At this point there is no option for receiving the one-time code by text message on your cell phone (sending text messages costs a lot).

I'm up next but I use it all the time on all of my important apps and websites.

Need a new git

Glad you got it working.
 
Is there a way to determine if I have set 2FA properly by looking in my account security? I am using a mobile phone to do it using a 3rd party authenticator device (also on the same mobile phone)

Yep, if you go into your settings, there is a button that says "Enable 2fa". It will send the code to your email, it usually takes like 2-3 hours for some reason.
 
Thank you. This it what I’m looking at. Does it look like I did it right? That should mean I will be able to contact a seller in the classifieds as I don’t see the PM/start convo button when I click on a for sale ad, or the seller.

Yes, after you put in the code that you recieve in your email, it should work in within a few hours.
 
Ok, there is a button that says disable 2FA so I think I did it correctly. In a few hours, I suppose I’ll know if I can respond in the classifieds. Thanks
