Would you like to say goodbye to remembering a PIN or Passcode when calling into Care? Biometric verification allows you to verify your account by your T-Mobile ID when you call into Customer Care for assistance using the T-Mobile app and biometric credentials such as Face ID or fingerprint recognition, so you don't have to remember your PIN or Passcode.
