If you choose to receive a phone call for Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) instead of an SMS message, here’s what you can expect:
Voice Call Experience
- The call will come from a California area code (likely a 424 area code).
- No need to speak or press any buttons; the process is fully automated.
- An automated voice will speak the 6-digit code:
- The code is spoken slowly and clearly (takes about 6 seconds).
- The code will be repeated 3 times, with each repetition taking about 6 seconds.
- After the third repetition, the call will automatically hang up.
- The total call duration will be around 35 seconds.
If You Miss the Code
- Log back into your PaymentWorks account and request the code again.
- Important Note:
- If you request the code more than 5 times in a row, you will be temporarily locked out for 1 hour. You will need to wait before requesting another code.
