SMS Login Verification - Argh

How do I get to the page to use Authenticator apps instead? I haven’t had a Qantas email about it.

It's under "Your Profile" > "Personal Information" > "Authenticator App".

You're missing the point of multi-factor authentication. The idea behind it is there are two different factors. Something you know, you're password/pin/answers to questions and something you have, you're phone.

You're = you are. I don't understand your sentence.

You're = you are. I don't understand your sentence.

Thanks for pointing out my typing mistakes. I'm sure a private message would have sufficed, but hopefully the public shaming of my unfortunate error will teach me to be more careful in future. Unfortunately I can't go back and edit the post to correct it. However, I'm sure you knew that my intention was to use "your" instead of "you're" in this context, but perhaps not since you still were unable to decipher what I meant. Oh well. Can't please everyone on the internet.

Which part of 'you are misssing the point' do you not understand?

You're = you are. I don't understand your sentence.

You're (sic you are) absolutely correct and the sentence makes perfect sense. Calling out someone's typo (or possible grammatical mistake) is one thing but to be wrong doing it is quite another.

"sic" is used when you are quoting an incorrect spelling or phrase in the context of the original text. In this case the "you're" has been corectly used so no need for "sic".

So saying "you're (sic) password " would be correct usage.

I just read some bits of this thread, and I see that some uses a strong password for their QFF account? Did I miss something? I though the pin was limited to 4 digits.

Also appologise to everyone if my post contains too many spelling errors

Four digit pin is first step. Then it's either SMS based 2FA or 3 Challenge Questions.

With a challenge question your answer to "What is your mother's maiden name?" could be GINer65OFRzzr45.
