Setup Two Factor Authentication Error Message

Getting the Message "Unable to Send the Token at This Time" for certain phone numbers only?

If a user sees “Unable to send the token at this time” when sending a 2FA text token to certain mobile number(s) only, the mobile number has likely previously replied STOP to messages from 501-20

To fix this:

  1. On the mobile device for the phone number having issues, start a new text message to 501-20

  2. Enter START

  3. Wait for the re-subscribe confirmation message

  4. Return to User Setup and click Send Token again

Once the number has been re-subscribed, the token should send successfully.

Note: The practice cannot override a mobile carrier text opt-out. The mobile device owner must text START to re-enable messages.
