Security verification during registration

Last updated: 3 years ago
We may use security prompts when you register for your account if we detect suspicious web activity. Here are some security prompts you could see while creating an account:
  • CAPTCHA - You may be asked to type the characters shown in an image on the screen. CAPTCHA (Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart) is a commonly used security method that helps to distinguish human attempts to access the site from automatic, computer-generated attempts typically used by spammers.

    If you have difficulty distinguishing a CAPTCHA image, click the Try a different image link. Audio CAPTCHA is also available by clicking the audio icon on the Security Verification page.

    Read more if the CAPTCHA security image is not visible.

  • Phone Verification - When you sign up for an account, you may be asked to enter a phone number to verify your registration.
    1. Enter your phone number in the requested fields.
    2. Wait for the SMS message or voice call to arrive with your security code.
    3. Enter the security code in the appropriate field and click Submit to complete your sign up.
