To change the two-factor authentication method through which you receive your login codes, please follow the steps below:
Firstly, go to the Digidentity login page.
1. Fill in your username/email address.
2. Fill in your password.
3. When asked for the security code, click 'I lost access to this code'.
4. Provide the requested account recovery code, then click 'Continue'.
5. Answer the security question.
You will now be given the option to add a new two-factor authenticator to your account. (For mobile number recovery, please ignore step 3.)
1. You can edit the mobile number in the SMS authenticator box OR for the app click 'Add' in the Digidentity authenticator box.
2. Enter the new mobile number and click 'Update SMS authenticator' OR for the app create a name for your new authenticator, then click 'Create authenticator'.
3. Go to the ACCOUNT ACCESS section of the Digidentity app, and use the camera to scan the QR code on screen.

Once recovered, you can log into your required service by signing in with GOV.UK Verify from https://www.digidentity.eu/govuk/start (state that you have used Verify before).
If you did not receive a new account recovery code automatically, you may have the option to resend this on the relevant recovery page. For any issues locating the requested original account recovery code, please do not hesitate to contact our service desk.
