  • Guidance remains that enrollment must be done from a Walmart-network-connected device using wmlink/2step, or off-network via svipreg.walmart.com — no new channels have been introduced.

A recent post from last week encourages associates to set up 2SV using wmlink/2step, but it doesn’t mention any new methods—just reminders and troubleshooting tips.

Troubleshooting Tips

  1. Enroll while connected on a Walmart device — switch to “Store/Club” if prompted, and use your correct store number (community wisdom from Reddit). Google Play

  2. If using your personal phone, ensure the device is informed via settings in the portal.

  3. Visit “My Phone Number Changed” or “My Device Changed” sections on OneWalmart if needed.
