Load one free public number before the AI-account prompt and record whether the request targets phone or email. Kimi says verification codes may go to a phone or email; if one does not arrive, verify the destination, wait briefly, then use Resend. Anchor the check to the AI-account prompt you initiated and use timing to distinguish that event from other visible traffic.

Kimi says only phone numbers from supported regions are accepted for this verification context, and it explicitly excludes VoIP numbers and landlines. Use the published supported regions with VoIP and landline exclusions condition as the AI account checkpoint in AI authentication; the public inbox only shows transport.
For Kimi Open Platform, a password can be used with either a phone number or an account name after a password has been set. Use the documented Open Platform password sign-in by phone or account name option for the AI account during AI authentication; delivery cannot replace the configured factor.
When changing the phone number on Kimi Open Platform, the replacement number must not already be registered on Kimi Open Platform or Kimi Assistant. Within AI authentication, keep the service condition for replacement-phone restrictions across Kimi services separate from delivery on the AI account; the outcomes answer different questions.
If the original sign-in method is unavailable, Kimi directs the user to support for an ownership-checked account transfer instead of using a new public number. The public feed may help inspect a message, but it should not become the durable ownership factor for an AI account with saved data.
If a Kimi code is missing, confirm whether the prompt is sending to phone or email and verify the displayed destination before using Resend. Kimi says verification codes may go to a phone or email; if one does not arrive, verify the destination, wait briefly, then use Resend.
If Kimi rejects the destination, check supported-region, VoIP, landline, and existing-account restrictions before doing anything else. Kimi says only phone numbers from supported regions are accepted for this verification context, and it explicitly excludes VoIP numbers and landlines.
If Kimi loses the original sign-in method, use its ownership-checked transfer or support process rather than a newly selected public number. If the original sign-in method is unavailable, Kimi directs the user to support for an ownership-checked account transfer instead of using a new public number.

The public feed may help inspect a message, but it should not become the durable ownership factor for an AI account with saved data. For AI authentication, future recovery belongs on a private factor.

Kimi's consumer app provides an account-deletion workflow, and approved deletion is irreversible for associated conversations, files, memory data, and paid benefits. This matters for AI authentication.
