AU PAY authentication can inherit au ID’s selected verification method. When the official screen chooses SMS, use one current listing here and check only the public inbox for that selected number. Viewing incoming messages is free. AU PAY uses the broader au ID identity system, whose official two-factor guidance adds SMS or email authentication to the au ID and password when risk or context requires it.
When Register AU PAY reaches au ID authentication, first observe which two-factor method KDDI selected. If it is SMS, select a current listing for that factor, make one request, then inspect the number-specific public inbox. Message viewing is free. If the system instead chooses email or another documented route, follow that route; this page cannot choose or override the au ID authentication channel.
For some au/UQ mobile contexts, the one-time URL is sent to the mobile line registered to the au ID; the system, not the user, determines the applicable method. If the screen uses email rather than SMS, follow that method; au ID automatically selects the two-factor channel according to the account and contract context. methodselect follows the supported branch for the au ID method selection.
au ID two-factor authentication can use a one-time URL by SMS or a one-time confirmation code sent by SMS or registered contact email. AU PAY uses the broader au ID identity system, whose official two-factor guidance adds SMS or email authentication to the au ID and password when risk or context requires it. methodselect escalates the au ID method selection through official support.
KDDI says which two-factor method is applied depends on the login situation and contract status, and the user does not manually choose the method. If an unexpected au ID two-factor SMS arrives without a login or AU PAY action, KDDI says not to open or approve it and to change the password if necessary. methodselect protects recovery beyond the au ID method selection.
For devices or services that cannot receive SMS, au documents an email-based two-factor option after the required two-factor settings are configured. If a two-factor message was unsolicited, do not approve the login or tap its URL; follow KDDI’s account-security guidance and change the password when appropriate. methodselect applies the au ID method selection before another request. methodselect checks the au ID method selection first.
If the expected SMS is missing, check message filtering and blocking for KDDI’s documented sender numbers before changing the account’s registered contact details. methodselect applies the au ID method selection before another request. methodselect checks the au ID method selection first. methodselect keeps delivery separate from the au ID method selection.
