Cloud Manager SMS Verification

Cloud Manager SMS verification lets you confirm access to a cloud infrastructure management panel using a virtual number.

Cloud Manager is a general name for the cloud service management consoles that let you create and manage cloud servers, storage, and network resources from a single interface; different providers use this name for their own control panels. Because they protect access to critical infrastructure, these panels verify your phone number with an SMS code when you open an account or sign in.

To verify with a virtual number, you enter your virtual number on Cloud Manager's sign-up or two-step verification screen and type the SMS code it sends. This method is useful for developers and system administrators who want to create an account without sharing a personal number, open a separate management account for a team, or run different environments with separate numbers.

Because Cloud Manager panels grant access to sensitive resources such as servers and billing, enter the verification code only in the relevant official console and never share it. While SMS verification is an important part of infrastructure security, where possible it is recommended to further strengthen your account with an additional method such as an authenticator app.
