How to remove sms authentication from mail

SMS authentication, also known as two-factor authentication (2FA) via SMS, is a security feature that requires users to enter a one-time password (OTP) sent to their mobile phone in addition to their login credentials. To remove SMS authentication from mail, you'll need to disable this feature in your email account settings. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you do so:

Method 1: Disable SMS 2FA via Email Client

  1. Open your email client (e.g., Outlook, Gmail, Yahoo Mail) and log in to your account.
  2. Go to your account settings or preferences.
  3. Look for the "Security" or "Account" settings section.
  4. Scroll down to the "Two-factor authentication" or "2-Step Verification" section.
  5. Click on the toggle button or switch to disable SMS 2FA.
  6. Confirm the change by clicking "Save" or "Update" changes.

Method 2: Disable SMS 2FA via Mobile App

  1. Open your email app (e.g., Gmail, Yahoo Mail) on your mobile device.
  2. Tap on the menu icon (three horizontal lines) or your profile picture.
  3. Tap on "Settings" or "Account settings".
  4. Scroll down to the "Security" or "Account" settings section.
  5. Look for the "Two-factor authentication" or "2-Step Verification" section.
  6. Tap on the toggle button or switch to disable SMS 2FA.
  7. Confirm the change by tapping "Save" or "Update" changes.

Method 3: Disable SMS 2FA via Web Interface

  1. Log in to your email account's web interface (e.g., www.gmail.com, [www.yahoo.com/mail)).
  2. Click on your profile picture or initial in the top right corner.
  3. Click on "Settings" or "Account settings".
  4. Scroll down to the "Security" or "Account" settings section.
  5. Look for the "Two-factor authentication" or "2-Step Verification" section.
  6. Click on the toggle button or switch to disable SMS 2FA.
  7. Confirm the change by clicking "Save" or "Update" changes.

After disabling SMS 2FA, you will no longer receive SMS-based authentication codes. However, keep in mind that disabling 2FA may compromise the security of your email account. It's recommended to use alternative 2FA methods, such as authenticator apps or U2F keys, for added security.
