When logging in to my account the verification code is sent to my wife's smartphone. I then have to request the code be sent to my smartphone.
When she logs into her account the code goes to her smartphone.
I wonder if this is due to some Vanguard IT actions or a very clever ploy by my wife to track my activity.
Hmmm.......
