What is a verification code?
After this, you will know what those number codes are and how to use them.
A verification code is a short number, often six digits. A website sends it to you by text or email. It is a quick way to prove it is really you.
You type the code into the website to finish signing in. The code only works for a few minutes. Then it stops working, which keeps you safe.
Getting a code is a good sign. It means the site is taking care to protect your account. You are not in trouble.
Try this
- Sign in and wait for the code to arrive.
- Open your text messages or your email.
- Find the short number in the new message.
- Type that number into the website box.
- Press the button to continue.

Never share a verification code with anyone who calls or messages you. The site never needs you to read it aloud.
