Situations that require you to turn on the Skip 2-step authentication setting

Copied

If you're not transferring your LINE account with an easy transfer QR code (e.g. the QR code login option) or with the same phone number registered to your account, you will need to turn on the Skip 2-step authentication setting. To do so, go to Settings > Account transfer options in the LINE app.

You need to turn on the Skip 2-step authentication setting when:

• Logging in to your LINE account after changing to a phone number that is different from your registered phone number. (Only for users in Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand.)

• Logging in to your LINE account from the Continue with Apple or Continue with Google option.

Note: This also includes when restoring from an iTunes or iCloud backup using your Apple ID.

Useful info

- While you can transfer your LINE account even if you haven't turned on the Skip 2-step authentication setting, we suggest turning it on to transfer your LINE account in a smoother manner.
- Be sure to transfer your LINE account within 36 hours of turning on the Skip 2-step authentication setting. If 36 hours have elapsed, turn this setting on again to reset the timer to 36 hours.
