Verifying my account
How to change your phone number
You don't need to have access to the old phone registered on your account, you only need to know the number. The code is sent to the new number being registered.
If you don’t remember your old phone number or your security question, please contact Customer Support using the Contact us tab at the bottom of the page.
To change your phone number:
- Log in > click your Profile Picture > My Settings > Phone Verification > Edit.
- Answer your security question > Provide your old phone number > Enter your new number.
- You'll then receive an SMS to the new phone number to verify your account. Add the
phone code to finalize the change.
Verifying your identity
To verify your identity:
- You will need to add a photo of an official government ID (driver’s license, passport, etc.) from a list of documents available to you—depending on your country of residence.
- After uploading your ID, you’ll be asked to take a selfie.
Your selfie and ID must match and belong to you in order to complete the process.
