    Two Factor Authentication (2FA)

    If you use services such as Amazon/Paypal/Google, you will have met up with 2FA. This involves receiving a text message or email containing a code that you must enter in order to complete whatever you are doing.
    If you currently receive this code by phone, then it is important to set up an alternative method* to receive it, in case your phone is not available, working, or receiving a signal. You can sometimes tick a box to say 'Trust this browser', but if you are in the habit of 'cleaning' your device, then that may not work.

    *Look at the settings of your account.
