9. What if I lose access to my registered email or mobile?
If you are unable to receive verification codes to change your password, please refer to the article on resetting security items when multiple access methods are lost for detailed recovery steps. If you no longer have access to your account and have lost your security items, please refer to the account recovery guide for further assistance.
10. Why did I receive a “Verification Code Error”?
This error can occur if you take longer than 5 minutes to enter the verification code, causing it to expire. It can also happen if the code entered is incorrect. Please request a new code and enter it promptly and accurately.
11. What does “The current operation has timed out. Please restart your process.” mean?
This means the password change process was not completed within the required timeframe, causing the session to expire. To protect your account, you need to restart the password change process from the beginning.
12. Why am I not receiving the verification code?
For email verification codes, delays may be caused by spam filters, network issues, or multiple requests made in a short time. Please check your spam or junk folder, and try again after a few minutes. For SMS verification codes, delays typically result from network problems, weak signals, or carrier processing times. Switching to mobile data, moving to an area with better reception, or restarting your device may help. If the issue persists, please contact XT support for assistance.
