for security reasons, we verify all phone numbers and email addresses during the account creation process by sending an OTP code. this code then needs to be inputted into peer as part of the account creation process to verify this is the owner of the phone number and email address. we do this primarily to prevent someone from creating an account using the number or email belonging to someone else.
sometimes, a user can enter their number or email incorrectly, causing the code to be sent to the wrong number or email.
please rest assured that receiving the code does not mean an account has been created using your number.
