2FA default to auth app instead of sms?

#1

It appears if I have both my mobile number and google Authenticator app set up for 2fa the site defaults to sms. Can I set my account to default to google Authenticator without deleting my mobile number?

Thanks!

Yes, when presented with the box to input the SMS code, look for the drop-down arrow next to the Okta logo. Here you can select which 2FA/MFA option you want as your default.
