Do I have to use the new login method? Can I use a code delivered by text message instead of unlocking my device screen?
As a regulated e-money issuer, Barion must implement strong customer authentication (SCA) to secure your transactions and prevent electronic payment fraud. This means that all our clients need to set SCA up.
World-wide best practices recommend that biometric or PIN-based authentication is more secure than codes delivered via text message, which is why Barion is using it.
Setting up an unlock screen secures not only your Barion Wallet, but every other information stored on your mobile device.
