We use the two-step verification method to help you protect your JB Hi-Fi Mobile account. It means that if someone other than you was trying to access your account, they would need more than just your username and password.
You can use any of the below methods to protect your digital identity with JB Hi-Fi Mobile. If you want to use biometrics, make sure your device supports it.
JB Hi-Fi Mobile PIN
You can help protect your identity by enabling your JB Hi-Fi Mobile PIN. You can do this easily in the JB Hi-Fi Mobile app or via JB Hi-Fi Mobile in a browser.
We'll never ask you to provide your PIN verbally to anyone, so if someone asks you to do that, end the conversation immediately.

A one-time code can be sent to your contact mobile number or email address that you have registered with us. This will verify your identity when interacting with JB Hi-Fi Mobile over the phone, via messaging or in-store, and when logging into JB Hi-Fi Mobile in a browser.
To use this security feature, check that your contact details with us are correct.
