Why we ask for your phone number
- We pay Ethereum network fees (gas) for your wallet so we need to ensure no-one tries to drain our bank account by creating a million wallets.
- We use it to send you security alerts
- It's used as a default method to enable 2-factor authentication when recovering your wallet
What we store
We store an encrypted version of your number on our servers.
I can't receive SMS from Argent
If you are unable to receive SMS, it is possible to bypass phone verification by tapping here*. Please note that we will be unable to send security notifications to your phone number, and initially you will be able to recover your wallet with only access to your email account.
*If the link doesn't work, you can skip the phone verification by reaching the point where you need to enter the phone number, then going to argent://app/skipPhone on your phone (iOS) or https://argent.link/skip-phone (Android). You would need to use the phone default browser.
