eBay Extends User Authentication to Mobile Numbers

eBay enhances security measures by adding mobile number authentication

eBay users can now authenticate their accounts using their mobile numbers.

In a bid to bolster account security, eBay has implemented a new authentication method that requires users to verify their accounts using their mobile phone numbers. This added layer of protection aims to prevent unauthorized account access and fraudulent activities on the platform.

eBay users can now sign in to their accounts using their mobile numbers as an alternative to email addresses or usernames. To enable this feature, users must provide their mobile numbers and receive a verification code sent to their device, which they then enter to complete the authentication process.

In addition to improving account security, mobile number authentication offers convenience for eBay users. By eliminating the need to remember multiple passwords, users can easily and securely access their accounts using their mobile numbers, which are typically readily available.
