FAQs
Quick answers people ask about Keybase SMS verification.
More FAQs1) Will a virtual number work for Keybase verification?
Yes. Choose Keybase in PVAPins, pick a country route, and request your code. Many users see delivery in under a minute, but timing can vary with carrier load and app-side checks. If it lags, switch lines or try a nearby country.
2) Temporary vs. Rental: What’s best for me?
Go Temporary for a single verification, fast and affordable. Choose Rental if you’ll re-login often or change devices; keeping the same line reduces extra checks and keeps access predictable.
3) Can I verify while traveling or working remotely?
Absolutely. Everything’s online. Sign in from anywhere, select a country, and receive the code in your dashboard. No local SIM, no roaming plans, no store runs.
4) What if my code never arrives?
Wait 60–90 seconds and re-request. Still nothing? Switch to a fresh private route or a nearby country. Clearing the app session or moving to a Rental line often solves stubborn cases.
5) Is this compliant with Keybase policies?
PVAPins provides routing; you’re responsible for following Keybase’s terms and local regulations. Review the official Keybase documentation and use permitted, secure practices.
6) Do virtual numbers affect account security?
Used correctly, no. Treat the number like any security factor: keep access private, enable device security, and store your rented line details safely for recovery.
7) Where can I learn more about OTP best practices?
For an overview of one-time passwords, see NIST SP 800-63B guidance and a plain-language OTP explainer.
