Passcode reset

  • Updated

When you signed up for your payment account, you chose a 6-digit passcode. Remember your passcode, as it may be needed for sensitive transactions. You'll also use it to log in if you haven't set up biometric authentication.

If you forget your 6-digit passcode, you can reset it on your mobile device. The process involves choosing a new passcode and verifying your identity.

You’ll be directed to verify your identity using one of the following methods, determined automatically based on your identification status:

  • Path A: Face match or face and ID document match if you've previously verified your identity using your mobile device.
  • Path B: Unique key verification if you haven't yet verified your identity for your payment account.

 

If you're having trouble proving your identity or have entered your passcode incorrectly three times, Swan Support will assist.
