Log in safely with your MPIN/biometrics
Protect your GCash account to avoid possible loss of your funds or stealing of your personal details. Learn how to secure your account below:
- Never share your GCash MPIN or OTP (authentication code) with anyone. GCash or its representatives will never ask for your personal information unless you request help through the GCash Help Center.
- Access GCash through a safe device. Do not log in to GCash using another person's device since they may access your information. Devices with modified system settings such as jailbroken or rooted are prevented from opening the app since they increase your risk of hacking.
