How do I enable two step verification for MyEE?

Jank0x — Wed, 01 Mar 2023 21:39:26 GMT

So how do I enable 2FA for MyEE and the MyEE site so my account can be more secure? I've noticed there's no security check when logging on and when I logged onto my account on my laptop for the first time it never asked for a one time code?

SMARTY (my previous operator) always asked for 2FA when logging into the dashboard.

The online MyEE already has a "sort of" 2FA.

Hi @Jank0x

Still in 2023 EE haven't implemented any security such as this on their app or online account. Yes it is unbelievably shocking.

Thanks

Ok then, so if my Bitwarden account is breached somehow there's a possibility that they can take control of my EE account and somehow potentially even do a fraudulent SIM swap?

That's shocking...

So ask for a code when doing certain tasks such as a SIM swap?

Sorry, why would I want a code?

A code sent to your mobile number or even authentication app if you're making changes to the account or doing things like a SIM swap. Basically confirm that it's you truly.

I may just buy a USB security key for my two step verification methods tbh and hopefully I'll be more protected in the event of a data breach or unauthorised access (stolen phone).
