Why can't I identify myself?

If authentication fails when adding a card, registering or logging in to the app, check the following:

  • Check that you have the appropriate default browser (iPhone: Safari / Android: Chrome)
  • If your phone has a VPN, turn it off (a VPN is usually a paid additional service that can be included in your phone's separate security service, for example. A VPN hides your IP address, which may prevent detection from working, so you should turn it off for the duration of detection)
  • Make sure you have the latest version of the MobilePay app. If necessary, you can update the app from the app store (iPhone: App Store / Google Play on Android).

If you have an iPhone

Check your browser settings:

  • Safari > Hide IP Address > Set to Off
  • Safari > Scroll Down: Advanced Options > Block All Cookies > Set to Off (Gray)
  • Safari > Advanced options > JavaScript turned on
  • Check Automatic Time: Settings > General > "Date & Time" > Set to Automatic

If you have Android

Check your browser settings:

  • Chrome app > Ellipsis > Settings > Privacy & Security > Third-party cookies > Select "Third-party cookies allowed"
  • Chrome app > Three dots > Settings > Privacy & Security > Safe Browsing > Select "Basic Security"
  • Chrome app > Ellipsis > Settings > Site Settings > JavaScript > Turn on
  • Check Automatic Time: Settings > General Control > Date & Time > Set On
