Once again about SMS confirmation of transactions: with what (and, most importantly, why) they eat it

    In April-May, we participated in several conferences (Reef + Kib, Spb-RIF, E-commerce ...), and one of the most common questions for standers was this one: HOW TO DISABLE SMS CONFIRMATION?
    imageThe question, frankly, is quite old, but why not return to it if people are interested. So if this topic is relevant for you - read on.

    First of all, why do you need SMS confirmation of transactions ? Hedgehog it is clear that it was not done in order to anger the most respected public, but in order to preserve its money. Simply put, this is one of the additional security measures.
    The main inconvenience is that in some cases this option is turned on automatically, and you suddenly learn about it when, when you try to make a transfer from the keeper, or when you try to pay something via WebMoney Merchant, an SMS with a confirmation code is sent to your phone (indicated in the certificate), which must be entered. In addition, it is important to know that this service is, although not always, but paid . The minimum transaction fee confirmed by SMS is 0.05 WMZ (1.50 WMR, 0.40 WMU, 150 WMB, 0.04 WME). Why is it not always paid? Simple arithmetic:
    If you translate 1 WMZ, then not 0.01, but 0.05 WMZ will be charged to you. Thus, the “border” will be the transaction size of 6 WMZ, at which the standard WebMoney commission of 0.8% is exactly 0.05 WMZ. It turns out, SMS confirmation of transactions from 6 WMZ and above - it costs nothing.

    Now the main thing: what to do if you do not like the confirmation procedure / it seems unnecessary / too expensive. You have two ways: 1) emotional and 2) constructive. In the first case, you write inscriptions like “down with paranoia” on all Internet fences. In the second - after spending a couple of minutes, turn off the SMS confirmation and forget about it.

    Have you chosen the second way? Then we take the first and last step . We go to the address: security.webmoney.ru/asp/transconfirm.asp
    Click the "Disable" button opposite the words "SMS Confirmation", then we get the confirmation code on the phone for the last time and enter it. All.

    ATTENTION! For owners of Classic or Light who have read up to this place - a little bonus secret.In Classic starting with version 3.9.4.0, you can disable SMS confirmation for transfers to a specific correspondent after the first transfer to it, which was successfully confirmed by SMS. The same principle works in Keeper Light ... In my opinion, this is a good way to keep SMS confirmations to a minimum, without losing security or disabling the function as a whole.
