You want to sign up, set up two-step, or recover an old account and now you&#8217;re asking, What did I do wrong?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nine times out of ten, it&#8217;s a formatting problem. Wrong country code, a sneaky leading zero, or the phone number type itself. In this guide, I&#8217;ll walk you through the fixes that actually work. No fluff, just the steps.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Quick Answer:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Format Fix:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Always go full international: a + plus country code plus full national number.
