Phone number verification

The Customer Portal provides the ability to verify mobile phone numbers using an mTAN. A verified phone number allows, for example, to reset a forgotten password.

How does this work?

Once a mobile phone number has been added to the account of the portal, the verification can be started independently. We will send you an mTAN via SMS to this number, which is valid for 30 minutes. Once this has been entered to the customer portal, your phone number is verified.

Prerequisites

A listed phone number of Mobile 1 or Mobile 2 type which is unlocked for SMS usage.

Installation
