Yandex.Money introduced one-time SMS passwords

These emergency codes, by the way, work for both owners of tokens and owners of tables with passwords. If you have already switched to enhanced authorization before, release the codes here .
One-time SMS passwords are a traditional banking service, but Yandex.Money is not a bank, so this is a difficult and important launch. SMS is easier to receive, they are free, you do not need to carry a token or store a printed passport sign.
Emergency codes can be printed once and stored in a safe place on a physical medium - keyloggers and compilers of phishing emails will not find them. Just keep in mind that if you lose both the mobile and the table with the emergency codes, you will have to write a paper statement .
If you have a token or a plate with codes, you can switch to SMS passwords on the same page . Return to the payment password after this action will be impossible. SMS will have to confirm each operation in Yandex.Money.
Enhanced authorization is available to users of any country in the world. The main thing is to bind the desired phone number in international format. For freelancers: one phone number can be tied to three accounts in Yandex.Money.
