How to Check Which Phone Number Receives Your Facebook Two-Factor Authentication Code

Two-factor authentication (2FA) is an important security feature on Facebook that helps protect your account from unauthorized access.

When 2FA is enabled, Meta sends a verification code whenever:

  • You log in from a new device or browser

  • You attempt sensitive security changes

  • Meta detects unusual login activity

Many users are unsure which phone number is currently linked to their 2FA setup, especially because Facebook displays the number in a masked format.

This guide explains how to verify the phone number connected to your two-factor authentication and how to view the full number in your account settings.


Step 1: Log in to Facebook

  1. Open your browser (Google Chrome recommended)

  2. Visit:

  3. Log in using the Facebook account that manages your Meta Business assets


Step 2: Access Facebook Settings

  1. Click your profile icon in the top-right corner (profile image with a dropdown arrow)

  2. Select: Settings & Privacy

  3. Then click: Settings

You will be redirected to the main Facebook settings page.


Step 3: Open Meta Accounts Center

  1. On the left-hand navigation panel, locate: Meta Accounts Center

  2. Under it, click the blue link: See more in Accounts Center

This will open the Meta Accounts Center, where all security and login settings are managed.


Step 4: Navigate to Password and Security

  1. In Accounts Center, use the left-side menu

  2. Click on Password and Security

This section contains all authentication-related options, including two-factor authentication.


Step 5: Check Two-Factor Authentication Delivery Number

  1. Under Password and Security, select: Two-Factor Authentication

  2. Choose the correct Facebook profile (if multiple profiles are listed)

Facebook will display where your login codes are being delivered.


Note: The Phone Number Will Appear Masked

For security reasons, Facebook does not show the complete number on this screen.

Example:

Only the last few digits are visible.


Step 6: View the Full Phone Number Linked to Your Account

If you want to confirm the complete phone number:

  1. Return to the Password and Security section in Accounts Center

  2. Locate and click on Personal Details

  3. Select: Contact Info

Here, Meta will display the phone number saved in your account in full (unmasked), along with your email address.

This allows you to clearly identify which number is connected to your two-factor authentication setup.


By completing the steps above, you can:

  • Confirm which phone number receives Facebook 2FA login codes

  • Verify access to the correct number before making security or business changes

  • Avoid authentication issues during Meta Business or WhatsApp API onboarding
