Battlegrounds Mobile India launch: IMPORTANT update on OTP authentication every PUBG Mobile India lover should know

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.

Battlegrounds Mobile India is likely to be released on Friday (May 18), however, Krafton is yet to announce an official release date.

Players of the battle royale game would remember that PUBG Mobile could have multiple login methods including Facebook, Google Play, or guest accounts. 

PUBG Mobile influencer GodNixon had mentioned on Youtube that PUBG Mobile players in India will be able to migrate their data over to Battlegrounds Mobile India. However, Krafton has not officially confirmed the same.

PUBG Mobile India was banned by the Indian government in September 2020 due to data privacy concerns under Section 69A of the Information Technology Act.
