While we build robust technical safeguards, user vigilance is ultimately the best defense against phishing. We will continue to work on mitigating these risks via interface design and signposting throughout the app. In the meantime, please stay alert, and never share your SMS verification code or Signal PIN with anyone.

@signalapp implementing authentication using more secure methods (passkeys, physical security keys) could eliminate that risk.
