3.25 Voice

The Voice method initiates a call to your registered phone number. The phone call requests you to specify the PIN in the dial pad of your mobile to authenticate. When you try to authenticate on any device, the recorded PIN is compared with the actual PIN. If both PINs are identical, you are authenticated successfully.

NOTE:If a phone number is not registered in the repository for a user profile, then the Voice method is not enrolled automatically. However, you can specify the phone number in the Add Authenticator section and click Save to enroll manually.
