Use this page to pick a free temporary number and receive your Adobe SMS verification code. Adobe offers optional phone verification — if you choose to add a number, you'll confirm it via SMS. The code appears in the public inbox.
Select an available number from the list. Copy and paste it into Adobe's verification screen. Wait for the SMS — Adobe sends a verification code. Refresh the page to see the code. Enter it to complete verification.

Adobe offers multiple verification methods: email, SMS, and the Adobe Account Access App. The app enables passwordless sign-in. Adobe no longer supports Adobe Authenticator or Google Authenticator — the Account Access app is the recommended method.[reference:18]
If you lose access to your phone number, select "Use another method" in the sign-in screen to receive the code via email. You still need access to your email and password. For enterprise accounts, contact your IT admin for assistance.[reference:19]

If you're locked out of Adobe, select "Use another method" to receive the code via email. If you've enabled two-step verification, you need access to at least two methods (email, phone, or Account Access app). If all fail, create a new account.[reference:22]
