Authenticator app vs SMS — which should I choose?
Authenticator app is recommended for additional security, but both options are supported
Authenticator app (recommended)
- Supported mobile apps include: Auth0 Guardian, Authy, Google Authenticator, or Microsoft Authenticator
- More secure than SMS
- Works even without cellular service
SMS verification
- Receive a one-time code via text message
- Easier if you don’t want to install an app
- Slightly less secure than an authenticator app
Both options are supported, but we recommend using an authenticator app when possible.
