OK, that makes sense
The auth app is more secure and far more reliable than email, text or phone codes, especially if the system backs up enough to delay codes being sent along or an unexpected downtime for one of the services. The security app is in a league of it's own because it will keep giving you a code as long as the program is auto-refreshing to a new code when the old one expires.
If you should lose your app, make sure you get your backup codes saved somewhere and don't forget them in order to login around the missing security app.

I do not have a mac.
It is, I have a friend who also uses a mac that has basic Origin access.
Oh, cool! Thank you!
What I'm wondering is: will the Access auto-update at the end of the month and do we need to make sure we turn it OFF after the free month period if we don't want to continue? (the cynic in me says yes but confirmation would be nice)
Please note in the second link offered by Mai:
Ah, thank you!
Could be your friend is using Windows on their Mac?
Origin Access is a PC membership - for anyone using macOS, please be aware that to access The Vault games you will need to be using Origin on Windows.
