Your best option(s) for 2SV
1. Receive a Google Prompt on your mobile phone
If you already use the iCON via Gmail app on your iOS or Android phone, choose Google Prompt. When you log in, the Gmail app on your phone will show a prompt and you simply tap Yes. This option is simpler as you don't need to type in a 6-digit code.
2. Verification code via SMS
If you don't use iCON Calendar or Gmail app on your phone, choose SMS. You will receive a 6-digit verification code via text message and you have to enter the 6-digit into the login page.
3. Verification code via Phone call
If your phone isn't SMS capable or you like to use a land line, choose voice message/phone call. You will receive the 6-digit verification via an automated phone call.
4. Backup codes
You will see 10 one-time use 8-digit codes. Print the codes and store them in a safe place, such as in your purse/wallet or locked in your desk drawer. You can use it as an alternative in case you misplace your phone.
5. Verification code via Google Authenticator App
Use this if you already have the authentication app in your mobile phone.

6. Security Keys
A physical security key is a small device that you can buy to help prove it’s you signing in. When we need to make sure it’s you, you can simply connect the key to your phone, tablet, or computer.
You may also be able to use the security key built in to a compatible phone to sign in to new devices.
