What to Do If You're Not Receiving Your Zibster Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) Code
Overview
Zibster uses two-factor authentication (2FA) to help protect your account from unauthorized access. When you log in, Zibster sends a six-digit verification code to your registered phone number or email address, depending on your authentication settings.
If you're not receiving your code, the issue may be caused by blocked text messages, email filtering, delivery delays, or outdated contact information.
This guide walks you through checking where your code was sent, requesting a new code, troubleshooting common verification errors, and restoring access to your Zibster account.
Quick Troubleshooting Checklist
Before trying additional troubleshooting, check the following:
-
Wait 30 to 60 seconds for your verification code to arrive.
-
Confirm the phone number or email address displayed on the VERIFY YOUR IDENTITY screen.
-
Check your Spam, Junk, Unknown Senders, or blocked message folders.
-
If you're using text message verification, make sure your phone can receive SMS messages and that 844-910-0879 isn't blocked.
-
If your code doesn't arrive, click RESEND to request a new code.
Important: Requesting another code invalidates your previous code. If you no longer have access to the phone number or email address shown on the verification screen, contact Zibster Support at 844.353.3412 for assistance.
How Your Verification Code Is Delivered
Zibster sends your verification code by text message (SMS) or email, depending on your location and account settings.
-
United States and Canada: Text message verification is available for mobile phone numbers. Email verification is also available if configured for your account.
-
Outside the United States and Canada: Verification codes are delivered by email.
After entering your login email address and password, you'll see the VERIFY YOUR IDENTITY screen.
This screen shows where your verification code was sent:
-
Text Message: Displays the last four digits of your registered phone number.
-
Email: Displays a partially hidden email address.
Check the information displayed to make sure you're looking for your code in the correct place.
Both text message and email verification codes contain six digits and are valid for 10 minutes.
Check for Blocked or Filtered Messages
Your verification code may have been delivered but filtered into another folder or blocked by your phone, messaging app, or email provider.
If You're Receiving Your Code by Text Message (SMS)
Zibster verification text messages are sent from:
844-910-0879
First, make sure your phone has cellular service and can receive SMS messages.
Check your messaging app for folders such as:
-
Unknown Senders
-
Spam or Junk
-
Blocked Messages
iPhone Users
Your iPhone may filter messages from unknown senders. Open the Messages app and check your filtered message folders.
Review your message filtering settings to make sure Zibster messages aren't being hidden or blocked.
Android Users
Android devices may automatically filter suspicious messages. Check your messaging app's Spam and Blocked folders.
Depending on your device, you may also have manufacturer-specific message filtering settings.
If you use a third-party message filtering app, such as Truecaller or RoboKiller, check that it isn't blocking Zibster messages.
You can also save 844-910-0879 as a contact to help prevent future messages from being filtered.
If you're still not receiving texts, restarting your phone may help refresh its connection to your mobile carrier.
If You're Receiving Your Code by Email
Zibster notification emails are sent from:
emailsupport@mailbiz1.zibster.com
Search your email account for this address, including your:
-
Inbox
-
Spam or Junk folders
-
Promotions or other filtered folders
-
Trash or Deleted Items
If you find your verification email in Spam or Junk, mark it as Not Spam or move it to your inbox.
You can also add emailsupport@mailbiz1.zibster.com to your email contacts or approved senders list to help prevent future filtering.
If you're using a business or company email address, your email provider may filter automated messages before they reach your inbox. You may need to contact your email administrator to check whether Zibster messages are being blocked.
If you cannot locate the email anywhere, Zibster Support can help you investigate possible delivery issues.

Request a New Verification Code
If your verification code hasn't arrived, return to the VERIFY YOUR IDENTITY screen.
Below the verification form, you'll see the message DIDN'T RECEIVE A CODE? followed by a RESEND link.
Click RESEND to request another six-digit verification code.
Zibster will generate a new code and send it to your registered phone number or email address. You can remain on the verification screen while waiting for the new code.
Important: Every time you click RESEND, Zibster invalidates the previous verification code. Only the newest code will work.
If multiple verification messages arrive, use the code from your most recent request.
Verification codes are valid for 10 minutes. Avoid repeatedly clicking RESEND, as too many attempts can temporarily restrict additional requests.
Enter Your Verification Code
Once your code arrives, return to the VERIFY YOUR IDENTITY screen.
Enter the six-digit code in the verification field.
If you're using your own computer or device, you can select TRUST THIS DEVICE to reduce how often you're asked to complete two-factor authentication.
Click SUBMIT to verify your identity.
Once Zibster accepts your code, you'll be logged in to your account and can continue managing your website and business tools.
If you receive an error message, review the troubleshooting information below.
What Your Verification Messages Look Like
Text Message Verification
When using SMS verification, Zibster sends your six-digit code to the mobile phone number associated with your authentication settings.
The VERIFY YOUR IDENTITY screen displays the last four digits of that phone number so you can confirm where the code was sent.
If you click RESEND, Zibster displays a confirmation message indicating that a new verification code has been sent to your phone.
Email Verification
When using email verification, Zibster sends an email with the heading TWO FACTOR AUTHENTICATION.
The email includes:
-
Your Zibster Account ID
-
Your six-digit verification code
-
A notice that the code is valid for 10 minutes
-
Instructions for completing your login
-
Zibster Support contact information
Enter the code on the VERIFY YOUR IDENTITY screen to complete your login.
Remember to use the newest code if you've requested another one.
Troubleshooting Two-Factor Authentication Errors
Zibster may display an error message if a verification code isn't accepted or too many verification attempts are made.
The following errors explain what happened and what you should do next.
Invalid Verification Code (EC2)
If you enter an incorrect or invalid verification code, Zibster displays:
"Invalid 2FA code. (EC2)"
If you see this message, check that you've entered the six-digit code correctly.
Remember:
-
Verification codes expire after 10 minutes.
-
Requesting another code invalidates the previous code.
-
Only the most recently requested code will work.
If your code has expired or you can't identify the newest code, click RESEND to request another one.
Enter the new code and click SUBMIT.
Too Many Attempts (EC 590)
If you've made too many verification attempts, Zibster may display an error message stating:
"You have made too many attempts. Please wait 10 minutes before trying again."
This message is associated with error code EC 590.
If you receive this message, wait 10 minutes before trying again.
If you're receiving your code by text message, confirm that the phone number associated with your account is a mobile number capable of receiving SMS messages.
Avoid repeatedly requesting new codes while troubleshooting.
If the problem continues, contact Zibster Support for assistance.
Account Access Restricted (EC 107)
To protect your account from unauthorized access, Zibster may lock your account after repeated unsuccessful two-factor authentication attempts.
When this happens, you'll be returned to the login screen and see:
"Please call us to restore access to your account. (EC 107)"
Zibster also sends an email to your account login email address with the heading ACCOUNT LOCKED.
This notification includes your Zibster Account ID and explains that your account was locked following multiple unsuccessful verification attempts. It also directs you to contact Zibster Support.
Your account will remain locked until Zibster Customer Support removes the security restriction.
Waiting 10 minutes, requesting another code, or attempting to log in again will not remove this block.
Call Zibster Support at 844.353.3412 for assistance restoring access to your account.
For your protection, our Support Team will verify your account information before removing the restriction.
