# Phone verification at signup
Source: https://docs.aden.space/docs/help/more/phone-verification

Signup can text a 6-digit code and refuse the account until it is typed back, so one number means one account. Built, off by default.

## Verifying your phone number [#verifying-your-phone-number]

When phone verification is on, creating an Aden account sends a 6-digit code by
text to the number you enter. Type it in to continue. One number can only be
used for one account.

The code is good for 10 minutes. If it doesn't arrive, wait a minute and press
**Send a new code**, or go back and check the number: it needs the country
code, like +32 470 12 34 56. After five wrong codes you'll need a new one.
