General steps; menu names vary. GroupMe's own guide has the exact screens.
- Sign in to GroupMe and open your account's security settings. Look for two-step verification or two-factor authentication. GroupMe's own guide shows the exact screens.
- Add your phone number and enter the code GroupMe sends, to confirm it.
- Save the backup codes. Keep them in your password manager or print them; they're your way back in if you lose your phone or key.
- Ask your mobile carrier for a port-out PIN or number lock, so nobody can move your number to their SIM.
