Two-factor Authentication at a glance

To serve you with better protection for payment via PPS; PPS has extended coverage of "Two-factor Authentication" to more merchants.

It works simply with additional protection:

PPS Two-factor Authentication uses two different types of information to verify your identity.

First protection (one-factor authentication): PPS by Internet: Login PPS website with PPS Account Number/Account Name and PPS Internet Password for authentication. PPS by Phone: Input PPS Account Number during bill registration and phone password during bill payment for authentication.

Additional protection (two-factor authentication): PPS by Internet: PPS will send a One-time Password (OTP) via SMS to your mobile phone when you register any bills (excluding those in the categories of Primary or Secondary Education, Post-secondary or Specialised Education, Government or Statutory Organisation and Public Utility). You are requested to enter the OTP to confirm the bill registration. PPS by Phone: PPS will send an One-time Password (OTP) via SMS to your mobile phone when you register bills of Credit Services, Securities Broker and The Hong Kong Jockey Club. You are requested to enter the OTP to confirm the bill registration.

With effect from 30th October, 2011, SMS for "One-time Password" (OTP) originating by PPS will be sent to your registered mobile phone number only. The OTP will not be forwarded to other phone number even though you have enabled "SMS Forwarding" service provided by mobile phone service providers in Hong Kong.

To enjoy the benefits of Two-factor Authentication provided by PPS, you can register your mobile phone number (simply by selecting "Setup/ Change Mobile No.") at any of our PPS registration terminals located at selected Circle K Convenience Stores and HKT Service Centers.
