Enable Two-Factor Authentication: Find the option for “Two-Factor Authentication” or “2FA” and turn it on.

Choose the Method: You may be prompted to select how you’d like to receive your authentication code. Options typically include:

SMS: A code will be sent to your registered mobile number.

Retrieving Your Authentication Code

Once 2FA is enabled, you can retrieve your authentication code using the following methods:

1. Via Authenticator App:
   • Open the app (e.g., Google Authenticator).
   • Find the code associated with your Realme account.
   • Enter this code when prompted on your Realme device.
2. Via SMS:
