DistroKid states that the 2-step authentication process for account login cannot be disabled. Users should therefore maintain access to the email address on file instead of expecting to bypass the check with a phone number. Compare mandatory login 2-step with the live prompt first.
DistroKid says users who cannot access the inbox holding their 2-step codes should contact its support team for assistance. That is different from changing the phone number stored in account contact information. Recheck email access recovery on the service screen. Let email access recovery guide the next supported account action.
DistroKid instructs users to edit the phone number in account settings, enter the current DistroKid password, and save the change. Contact-information changes are therefore authenticated before the new phone verification step. Use phone change authentication as the practical checkpoint. Resolve phone change authentication before treating message delivery as sufficient.
After the phone number is changed and saved, DistroKid says a text verification is sent to the new phone number for confirmation. This SMS flow concerns the contact-number change, not the email-based login 2-step code. Confirm new phone text verification against the cited guidance.
Check whether the prompt is DistroKid’s new-device or new-IP 2-step login challenge. That documented code is sent to the email address on file, so check the inbox, spam handling, and email-provider delivery rather than the phone inbox. If the email account is inaccessible, contact DistroKid support.
Return to DistroKid account settings and verify that the new number was entered correctly and saved with the current password. Wait a few minutes for the text verification described by DistroKid. If it still does not arrive, use DistroKid support as the help article instructs.
Do not treat a phone-number change as a replacement for the account’s email-based login challenge. The 2-step feature cannot be disabled and its code is sent to the email on file. Use DistroKid support to recover access when that inbox can no longer be reached.
