Mobile apps or desktops, users are more interested in choosing a convenient and secure method while logging in to various online platforms. This ensures fast logging as well as secure browsing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the convenience of users, ikman<\/a> has introduced the option to log in using a mobile number. In addition to email and Facebook, now there is an opportunity to log in<\/a> to the ikman account with a phone number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this new option, there is no need to use a separate password to log in to ikman as users can now open an account using a phone number. By providing the phone number as the logging mode, users will receive an OTP via SMS and can log in directly using it. As a result, the possibility of hacking or viewing user account information from other smartphones or computers will be reduced and users do not have to remember the password to put each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the phone number provided by the user at the time of logging in is not linked to any other ikman account, the user will be prompted to create a new account by providing the required information. On the other hand, if the phone number is linked to an account, the user will be asked to verify the identity. If the identification is not assured then the users will be logged out and will be requested to contact the Support Team to resolve the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
