Why is my MySonicWall Two-Step Verification code not accepted?

Description

With Two-Step Verification, even if someone obtains your MySonicWall username or email address and your password, they cannot access your account unless they also have access to your email account or your smart phone.

You may go to Settings | My Accounts page to change the Two FactorAuthentication method as per your preference

  • Email – using the email address specified in your MySonicWall account. The Code is sent to your Registered Email
  • Microsoft / Google Authenticator App – on your smart phone or tablet. The Generated Code from the app needs to be entered.
