Note the "review_id" parameter above. This is like a random number (not sure right now).

The basic information "Facebook" tells about the two-factor authentication:

Add an extra layer of security to your account

If you turn on two-factor authentication, we'll ask for a code if we see an attempted login from an unrecognised device or browser.
Security tips:

• You can set this up via SMS or an authentication app on more than one device

• You can't reset your password with a phone number used for two-factor authentication. Make sure that you have at least one other up-to-date email address or phone number on your account.

Secure your account with two-factor authentication

Add extra security to your account each time you log in on a phone or computer we don't recognise.

Extra protection: We'll ask for your password and then a login code any time we notice an unusual login.

Choose a security method: We'll send a text message with a login code, or you can use a security app of your choice.

Select a security method

Whenever you log in from a phone or computer that we do not recognise, we'll ask for your password and a login code.

Authentication app: Use an app such as Google Authenticator or Duo Mobile to generate verification codes for more protection.

Text message (SMS): Use text messages (SMS) to receive verification codes. For your protection, phone numbers used for two-factor authentication can't be used to reset your password when two-factor authentication is on.

Two-factor authentication is on

Phn number: +91 **********
We'll send a verification code to this number if we notice an attempted login from a device or browser that we don't recognise.
For added protection, this number can't be used to reset your password when two-factor authentication is on.
