Extra tips

What to look for: Samsung account sign-in on the TV waiting for a code sent to an old phone number

Before you change anything: Use a browser on a device that can still receive email for the Samsung account. Add the new phone number before removing the old one if possible. Keep backup codes if Samsung shows them. Never share Samsung verification codes with unexpected callers.
