If correct, your authenticator app will be connected automatically. That way, you can always use the code on the authentication app to validate transactions.
On Selecting Email
An email is sent to your email, all you have to do is enter the seven digit code on the app/web to get your 2fa method registered. You will always get an email on validation of transactions if this method is opted for.
