🗺️ Read this article for a step-by-step walkthrough on signing-in with a one-time code.
A sign-in using a one-time code is an extra layer of security that helps protect account access and sensitive information on platforms like Lumosity.
What Is a One-Time Code?
A one-time code is a 6-digit temporary numerical password sent via email, used during sign-in. This code is unique for each login attempt and expires after a short time, making unauthorized access difficult if not impossible.
Why Is This Needed?
- Enhanced account protection: One-time codes safeguard accounts from password leaks or guessing
- Password-less authentication: Login without entering a permanent password, instead verifying identity through the temporary code
- Suspicious activity checks: If multiple or unusual devices or locations try to access an account, the system may prompt for a one-time code for verification
Overview
- Head over to Lumosity's Sign-in Page or fire up the Lumosity App
- Enter registered email ID and click on Send Code
- Receive a one-time code via email
- Enter the code to complete sign-in
Troubleshooting
- Never share the code; it is only valid for one login attempt
- Contact support if the code isn’t received or issues persist
Being asked to sign-in with a one-time code is a pretty common process for most modern platforms. It provides strong protection for your account and personal data, keeping Lumosity access safe for all users.
