AdMob’s Personal Identification Number (PIN) is an important protection feature that helps safeguard your account and ensure secure payments. However, there may be situations where you need to troubleshoot the PIN feature.
This guide will walk you through the AdMob Pin Troubleshooting, explaining why and how you might need to use it. Our goal is to make the process of PIN verification as easy as possible.
Although we have talked about the Admob Pin thoroughly in our previous sections, here is specifically for the troubleshooters.
The reasons that the PIN is Significant:
AdMob wants to make sure you’re not a bot living in a digital realm!
The AdMob PIN is a digit code this platform sends to your registered mailing address only if you’ve reached the point where AdMob approves. This Pin is AdMob’s way of confirming your mailing address, ensuring that the right earnings reach the right pocket.
This process is essential for protecting both your account and the integrity of AdMob’s financial transactions. We are going to get familiar with the common issues on AdMob and how to resolve them as a pro troubleshooter.
Let’s troubleshoot as troubleshooters!
What are the AdMob Pin Troubleshooter Steps?
What might go wrong in the AdMob pin-receiving process? What can app developers and publishers do if anything happens related to the Pin, which is one of the most significant proofs that confess you are a real human who is monetizing on the AdMob platform?
Let’s dive into the steps to troubleshoot any Pin-related hiccups:
A. Missing PIN
If you haven’t received your PIN within the expected timeframe of 2-3 weeks, it’s likely due to a delay in postal delivery. Do not worry, as AdMob has your back! In such cases, you can request a new PIN through your AdMob account settings.
Go to your AdMob account, the Payment section, and look for the option to resend the PIN.
A mismatch between the registered address and the PIN’s destination is one of the common causes of delays or incorrect PIN delivery.
B. Double-check the Address for Incorrect PIN Entry
Mistakes happen even for app developers and publishers. Maybe there’s a typo in your address. You can double-check your AdMob account to make sure your mailing address is spot on.
If you’ve recently moved, you’ll need to update your address in your AdMob account and request a new PIN to verify your new location.
AdMob only allows 3 attempts to enter the correct PIN. After that, your account might be locked for security reasons. If you do not enter the PIN correctly, you have to unlock your account and then request a new PIN.
C. Avoid Multiple Requests
App developers and publishers can request a new PIN only once in 28 days. If you exceed this limit, you have to wait for the other 28 days before requesting a new one.
D. APractice Patient
As you know, mail takes time, and it is not as email, and your PIN might need a few days to make its way.
If, despite your pin-resending efforts, the Pin remains elusive, you have the AdMob’s support team for your help. You can reach out to them and share your PIN troubles.
To maintain a good PIN experience, consider these tips:
- Maintain accurate address information
- Keep your contact information updated (phone number + email address)
