You don’t need to have access to your old device to deactivate 2SV. To deactivate 2SV:
Go to scotiabank.com and select Sign in
Select Need help signing in?
Select I lost my 2-step verification (2SV) device
Enter your username or card number and password
If you're prompted to answer security questions:

Confirm the device you’d like to remove 2SV from
If you're prompted to enter a text message verification code:
Get the verification code from the text message we sent to your mobile device
Enter the verification code
Confirm the device you’d like to remove 2SV from
Once you have a new mobile phone, you can sign in to the Scotia mobile app to activate 2SV again. If you don’t have a new phone or you’re having trouble accessing your account, please give us a call at 1-800-472-6842 so we can help.
