2FA - Change Primary Trusted Device
I have changed to a new mobile device and am unable to figure out how to change the primary trusted device from my old phone to the new one (or remove other devices from the list). In the Orbi An...

- Thanks so much! Hopefully this will come to the app at some point.
There's no option there to change the Primary device. You can delete the Primary and obviously it will no longer be the Primary, but then you have to delete the app, reinstall, reconfigure and reverify it.
- i follow the steps and i don't see 2FA in my profile...whats the way out?

Hi,
This solution does not work for me - there is no "Two Step Verification" item listed in the "Manage Profile" section for my account on the website. Please see the attached screenshot.
Also the mobile app (I have iOS) says all trusted devices will be deleted if I disable 2FA, but when I do disable 2FA, the trusted device I previously added (my iPad) remains. I cannot see any way to add any new ones, nor can I delete the existing one. This seems quite buggy.
So, I'd like to be able to add my iPhone as a trusted device, replacing the iPad, and then remove the iPad. How can I do so?
Thank you.
