It is most popular with google accounts now with the news that Google will mandate two-step verification for all its users’ accounts.

The wmlink/2sv or wmlink/2step verification is the official link of Walmart One for all its employees to log in to their ASDA account with 2-step verification.
You get a unique 6-digit code every time you log in after entering your User ID and password.
This code can be shared via SMS, email, app, or call.
This helps you get a message each time anybody logs in to your account, thus you can easily keep an eye on the account without any trouble.
Why Do We Need 2-step Verification?
Walmart’s wmlink/2step verification is required every time you log in to the employee portal from a personal device for example a mobile phone which is not on Walmart’s network.
By entering the code sent to you, it ensures the company that its data is accessed safely.
This step is essential especially for those who constantly worry that their accounts on such portals can be hacked.
Moreover, no two accounts (i.e., no two colleagues) can use the same number to receive verification codes, so all the employees can rest assured that there will be no leak of any of their information.
How to Setup the WMlink/2step Portal?
Here are the instructions on how you can set up two-step verification on your ASDA or Walmart One account.
You get three options to choose from in order to receive your unique one-time code- via text message, voice call, and call.

Common issues with the 2-step verification method:
There are possibilities that you can face trouble while setting up the 2-step verification from your browser on any device. Here are some common issues and their solutions:

Make sure you use upper case letters wherever written used in the password. If you have forgotten the password, you can click on the ‘Forgot password’ link at the bottom of the password section and then follow the instructions to reset it.
