At Swile, we take the security of your accounts and cards very seriously. You’ll probably need to carry out sensitive actions from your account, so in this article we’ll explain what that means in terms of keeping your data secure.
Multi-factor authentication is for anyone who wants to carry out so-called sensitive actions remotely, usually from a computer, tablet or mobile. It’s mandatory and is designed to secure remote operations by making sure the legitimate user is the one carrying them out.
Actions related to managing your account:
- Changing your contact details,
- Ordering cards,
- Viewing your PIN code
- And so on.
Online payments:
- On platforms like Refectory, Basil, Frichti, etc.
- Ordering from your Perks area,
- Enabling donations from your account,
- And so on.
To carry out a sensitive action 👆 on your account, you’ll need to provide at least two verification factors. This proves that the legitimate account holder is making the request.
The two factors could be a PIN, password, fingerprint, code received by SMS or email, or registering a trusted device.
One of the required factors is registering your trusted device. You’ll need to do this on each device you use to log in to your Swile account. Once your devices are registered, you won’t need to repeat the process.
You can check in your account settings to see if your device is registered.
