Why Does SMS Verification Code Fail to Send When I Log In to a CBH Instance?
Symptoms
- Mobile SMS is selected as multifactor verification for your account. When you attempt to log in to the CBH system through SMS, the system displays a message indicating that the SMS message fails to be sent.
- After the login password is reset, you do not receive the SMS verification code.
Possible Causes
- Cause 1: If the browser you used is incompatible with the CBH system, the login verification SMS fails to be sent.
- Cause 2: The security group denies the IP address of the SMS gateway, or ports 10743 and 443 are not enabled.
- Cause 3: The mobile number is incorrect.
- Cause 4: The SMS service is abnormal.
- Cause 5: No elastic IP address (EIP) is bound to the CBH instance.
