What do you mean by texting for verification?

What do you mean by texting verification? Simply put, SMS authentication means that when registering an account, modifying a password, changing personal information, etc., in order to ensure the security of the user's account, the system will ask the user to enter the mobile phone number and send a short message to the user's mobile phone, so that the user can enter the verification code in the short message before proceeding to the next operation. The purpose of this is to prevent malicious registration, phishing fraud and other acts, and enhance the security of user accounts.

Different websites and applications use SMS authentication in different ways. Some platforms that need high security may need multiple SMS verifications to successfully register or perform important operations, while some simpler platforms may only need to verify the mobile phone number once when registering. However, it should be noted that although SMS verification code can improve the security of the account, it is not absolutely secure. Because some hackers can get and tamper with the verification code by stealing other people's mobile phone numbers.

In the process of using SMS to verify, you should pay attention to protect your mobile phone and password information to avoid account theft due to negligence. At the same time, we should also pay attention to the security and credibility of the platform, understand the privacy provisions and user rights protection policies of the platform, and reduce the risk of accounts being defrauded or used for illegal purposes by criminals. In short, although SMS verification is a convenient means of account security, users should also raise their security awareness and take preventive measures.
