Why did I receive a text with a security token?
Should I be concerned?
Did you receive a text message from Vodafone with a 6-digit code but never started the forgotten password process for My Vodafone? If so, there's no need for concern.
What is this message?
This text message is part of the process for people to sign in to My Vodafone when they can't remember their password. We send them a security token, which they need to enter on the website, they then change their password to access My Vodafone.
Can I delete this message?
If you didn't start this forgotten password process, but received the text message, then most likely someone accidentally typed in your phone number instead of their own. Regardless, as long as you have your phone, there's no risk of someone being able to sign in to your My Vodafone account, because they would need that security token to do so. So go ahead and just delete the text message. That token will soon expire. And your My Vodafone password will remain unchanged.
What is a security token?
The security token is a text message or email we send to check that you have the phone or email address you are registering with. It is one of the things we do to stop anyone else registering your account.
Remember: this code will expire within 15 minutes of being sent to you. If it expires you can send yourself another security token.
I haven't received the My Vodafone security token
If you don't have the security token to hand, or it's expired, you just need to re-enter your phone number / email address where indicated when you follow the reset password or registration steps.
If you're registering a data-card for your tablet device or USB modem (mobile broadband), you need to have the device installed to access the security token as a text message from the Vodafone dashboard on your computer.
How long is the security token valid for?
You should get the token almost immediately, it is valid for 15 minutes from sending.
If the code expires, you should follow the reset password or registration steps again.
Are all my personal details secure?
We make it a critical priority to make your details secure.
We use industry standard secure sockets layer (SSL) technology and encrypt sensitive information such as your credit card and other financial information.
