Even as fans of PUBG Mobile India are awaiting the launch of Battlegrounds Mobile India, the developers have updated its support page with details about the game's OTP authentication.
This suggests that OTP authentication will be the only way to log in to Battlegrounds Mobile India. Krafton has added a “Rules regarding OTP Authentication” section on the Battlegrounds Mobile India support page wherein it states some instructions for how many times a user can request an OTP, validity of the OTP, and more.
The Battlegrounds Mobile India website mentions that a user can enter a ‘Verify code' three times after which it won't work. A Verify code will be valid for five minutes before it expires, and players can request a code 10 times before they are restricted from doing so for 24 hours. A single phone number can register up to 10 accounts.
