The two-factor verification is not working


 

You are trying to log in to BISON, but the SMS with the 6-digit code simply does not arrive on your phone? There can be various reasons for this. Please check which of the following three scenarios applies to you:

Scenario 1: You have a new mobile number 

If you no longer have access to the mobile number currently stored in your BISON account, the SMS cannot reach you.

Scenario 2: The SMS is technically blocked 

You have the correct number, but the SMS still does not get through? Often, settings on the phone prevent reception:

  • Airplane mode trick: Turn on airplane mode for 10 seconds and then turn it off again to reconnect to the cell tower. Then request the code again.

  • Spam folder & blocks: Many smartphones (especially Android) have a hidden spam folder for SMS. Check this and make sure you have not activated any "third-party SMS block" with your mobile provider.

  • Multi-SIM: Do you use a Multi-SIM (two SIM cards with the same number)? Temporarily deactivate the second device (e.g. tablet or smartwatch), as the SMS often ends up on the wrong device.

Scenario 3: Your account has been locked for security reasons 

If you have already entered the code incorrectly many times or your account has been temporarily locked for other reasons (e.g. too many failed logins), our system automatically blocks the SMS sending completely.

  • The solution: Since you cannot see this protection lock in the app, please contact our support directly below under "I still need help".

Nothing helped? We will help you! 

If your reception is perfect, you have the correct number, and still no SMS arrives, please contact us via the contact form. So that our technical support can search for the error directly with the SMS provider, please send us the following information in your message:

  1. Your mobile number

  2. Your mobile provider (e.g. Telekom, Vodafone, o2)

  3. Your device used (e.g. iPhone 15, Samsung Galaxy S23)

  4. Your location

  5. Three exact timestamps (date & time) when you unsuccessfully tried to request the SMS.
