Countries where SMS authentication is supported

Because of delivery success rates, GitHub only supports two-factor authentication via SMS for certain countries.

If we don't support two-factor authentication via text message for your country of residence, you can set up authentication via a TOTP mobile application. For more information, see Configuring two-factor authentication.
