When making online payments, signing up for services, or recovering your ID and password, you must go through identity verification. In Korea, two of the most commonly used verification methods are SMS (text message) authentication and PASS authentication.
Let’s take a look at the differences between these two methods and how they work.
1️⃣ SMS (Text Message) Authentication
This is the most familiar method of identity verification, where you receive a verification code via SMS and enter it to confirm your identity.
How to verify using SMS:
1. Select identity verification and enter your name, date of birth, mobile carrier, and phone number.
2. You will receive a verification code via SMS.
3. Enter the received code and confirm.
Simple process, but you need to manually enter the verification code.
2️⃣ PASS Authentication (Quick & Easy Verification)
PASS authentication uses the PASS app on your phone, making verification faster and more convenient without the need to enter codes manually.
How to verify using PASS:
1. Select PASS authentication for identity verification.
2. Enter your name and phone number, then click confirm.
3. You will receive a notification from the PASS app on your phone.
4. Open the PASS app and complete authentication by entering your PIN or using biometric verification (fingerprint/face recognition).
5. Verification is completed automatically.
No need to enter SMS codes—faster and more convenient.
Recommended for secure services like Government24 and Hometax.
Which Method Should You Use?
• If you want a faster and hassle-free verification process, PASS authentication is the best choice.
• If you don’t have the PASS app installed or prefer a traditional method, you can still use SMS authentication.
PASS authentication is becoming more widely used in Korea. If you haven’t tried it yet, give it a go for a smoother verification experience!
