    Thanks for posting here, @sajjadahmad999. 

     

    I’m afraid that as of 03/09/2023, setting up new devices to receive security codes by text message isn't supported, if your country code is +92. You can also double check this here. 

     

    However, you can try generating a 2FA code instead via an authenticator app.

     

    If you need something else though, please let me know.

Thank you so much for guiding me. I will go with the Google Authenticator App. No more questions
