How to activate Key6 BPER Banca

The methods to activate Key6 BPER are various: you can perform the operation via the smartphone app or from your computer’s browser . Below you will find all the possible options: choose the one you prefer and follow my instructions, I assure you that you will complete the procedure in no time and you can immediately use the code to shop online.

How to activate Key6 BPER from the app

The BPER bank has an app, called Smart BPER Card , which can be downloaded on both Android and iPhone smartphones . It is of recent conception and therefore very well made, in fact it allows you to perform various operations and check your cards even while you are away from the PC: among these, there is the possibility of activating the Key6 code. Before getting to the procedure, however, I invite you to download the app, if you have not yet installed it, and find your login credentials to the reserved BPER area, essential to continue.

Also remember that a mobile number must already be associated with your account in order to receive the OTP codes via SMS . The term OTP, if you do not know, stands for One-Time-Password, and is a random code, different for each request, generated by the system and sent directly to the customer.

When you are ready and you have collected all the data you need, touch the app icon and you will be taken back to the main screen where you will have to press the button marked BPER , you will then be prompted to accept the terms and conditions, read carefully the regulation of the Smart BPER Card service and then, at the bottom of the page, first on the Accept button . On the next page, you will need to enter the required data, i.e. the user code and password , then press the Login button to enter your personal area.

Before you get to the menu where the credit cards linked to your account will be listed, however, you will need to go through a couple of additional authentication steps. The first of those required is the unique PIN : enter it and then press the Activate button . After that, the application will send you an SMS with an OTP code : write it down and enter it where requested, then tapping the Enable button . Now the app will ask you to set a new 5-digit PIN : perform this procedure as well and, at the end, you will have access to the My Cards page of the app.

After this long initial phase you can breathe a sigh of relief, it doesn’t take long to activate the Key6 code. In the list of credit cards, there may be several, depending on how many you have, however I recommend that you choose only the one you use for your online purchases and on which you want to activate Key6.

When you have decided, select the card by tapping it and then press the Security icon . On the next screen you have to choose the item Set code Key6 and, to confirm your identity once again, enter the PIN you set previously. Here we are: all you have to do is choose the 6-digit code that you will use to confirm your online purchases, then press the Confirm button and you will have completed the procedure correctly.

If in the future you want to view or change the Key6 code, all you have to do is go back to the Security section of your card via the Smart BPER Card app.

How to activate Key6 from the BPER Card reserved area

If, on the other hand, you prefer to use the BPER Card reserved area to carry out the operation, do not worry, just log in to your account via the official Bibanca website. Then click on the button at the top right that says BPER Card Reserved Area . The next screen will ask you to choose your status: if you are a private individual click on Private , otherwise click on Companies . You will be redirected to the login page of the reserved area, where, as usual, you will need to enter the user code and your password.

Upon access, an additional authorization may be required, to be confirmed via smartphone: then check the phone screen and press on the notification of the BPER app . To continue you will need to enter either your PIN or use the biometric identification system . Remember: you must complete the procedure within a minute or you will have to repeat it all over again.

At this point you will have access to your reserved area and you can proceed in two different ways: from the My BPER Cards menu , or from the 3D Secure – Key6 menu , both visible on the top bar. If you choose the first, just click on Set the code Key6 , an item that can be viewed after selecting your BPER Card; from the 3D Secure – Key6 menu, on the other hand, the button to press is Activate code Key6. The result is pretty much the same, as is the subsequent procedure, so don’t fret too much and choose the one you prefer.

As always, the system will ask for permission to proceed through a two-factor verification . Keep your smartphone handy because you will receive an SMS with the OTP code to enter to proceed, or you will be asked to authorize the operation by entering the PIN or biometric system.
