One-time passwords are used by banks to provide an additional measure of customer protection — to enter the Internet bank and confirm payment transactions. You should not ignore this security option if you want to be sure that your money is in your bank account.

How to get a one-time password in Sberbank online?

Sberbank offers 2 ways to get a password:

• On a mobile phone when registering at a mobile bank;
• The ATM will issue a list of one-time Sberbank passwords when connecting to remote service (no longer available!).

The most optimal way is to connect to a mobile bank. Then you will not be limited to the number of one-time passwords and will be able to receive SMS notifications about the operations performed. Every time you make a transfer or payment online , the bank will ask for your permission for this operation, informing about the details of the payment in SMS.

The list of passwords from an ATM is only 20 codes, they will not be enough for a long time, and every time it is not very convenient to run to an ATM for a new check. In addition, in the thumbs with the new firmware, this function has already been abolished.

Why do we need one-time passwords in Sberbank online?

To log into the remote service system, the client enters a username and password, after which the site requires you to specify a one-time code obtained by one of the above methods. And if someone else knows the login and password, he will not be able to log in to the system without a code that is accessible only to the cardholder.

If this option greatly hinders you, you can turn it off in your personal account settings, but we strongly discourage this. Using the one-time passwords option, you can always find out about attempts to log into your banking system and take timely measures - change the password or block the card.

Too many cases of cyber theft have been established in recent years to neglect the free extra security measure. Do not disable one-time passwords!

In these SMS will also be spelled out the amount of payment, which will once again check the operation for errors. Sent on the phone 1000 rubles instead of 100?
