How to Turn Off Facebook’s Two-Factor Authentication Change

Recently, Facebook has made a change to their two-factor authentication process, requiring users to use a third-party app like Google Authenticator or Duo Mobile to generate their security codes. If you prefer to stick to the traditional method of receiving codes via SMS or email, here’s how you can turn off this change:

1. Go to your Facebook account settings.
2. Click on “Security and Login”.
3. Scroll down to the “Two-Factor Authentication” section.
4. Click on “Edit” next to the option that says “Use third-party app for two-factor authentication”.
5. Select the option to turn off third-party app authentication.
6. Follow the on-screen instructions to confirm your choice and disable this feature.

By following these simple steps, you can revert back to the previous method of receiving security codes from Facebook. Make sure to keep your account secure by enabling two-factor authentication with a method that works best for you.
