On the settings menu click Security, then click Sage accounts and two-factor authentication.

This then shows as a tick ✔️
Click Save.
How does someone log in if they don't have access to their device?
If you don't have your device to hand don't worry, you can log into your Sage account using your recovery code. Your recovery code was shared with you when you first set up 2-factor authentication.
What if a 2-factor authentication text message doesn't arrive?
Please allow up to 10 minutes for the code to arrive.
Check your phone signal to make sure you can receive text messages.
