9+
Docker supports 3D Secure (3DS), an extra layer of authentication required
10+
for certain credit card payments. If your bank or card issuer requires 3DS, you
11+
may need to verify your identity before your payment can be completed.
12+
13+
## How it works
14+
15+
When a 3DS check is triggered during checkout, your bank or card issuer
16+
may ask you to verify your identity. This can include:
1117

12-
3D Secure (3DS) authentication incorporates an additional security layer for credit card transactions. If you’re making payments for your Docker billing in a region that requires 3DS, or using a payment method that requires 3DS, you’ll need to verify your identity to complete any transactions. The method used to verify your identity varies depending on your banking institution.
18+
- Entering a one-time password sent to your phone
19+
- Approving the charge through your mobile banking app
20+
- Answering a security question or using biometrics
1321

14-
The following transactions will use 3DS authentication if your payment method requires it.
22+
The exact verification steps depend on your financial institution's
23+
requirements.

- Starting a [new paid subscription](../subscription/setup.md)
25+
## When you need to verify
26+
27+
You may be asked to verify your identity when performing any of the following
28+
actions:
29+
30+
- Starting a [paid subscription](../subscription/setup.md)
1731
- Changing your [billing cycle](/billing/cycle/) from monthly to annual
1832
- [Upgrading your subscription](../subscription/change.md)
1933
- [Adding seats](../subscription/manage-seats.md) to an existing subscription

## Troubleshooting
35+
If 3DS is required and your payment method supports it, the verification prompt
36+
will appear during checkout.

If you encounter errors completing payments due to 3DS, you can troubleshoot in the following ways.
38+
## Troubleshooting payment verification
2439

25-
1. Retry your transaction and verification of your identity.
26-
2. Contact your bank to determine any errors on their end.
27-
3. Try a different payment method that doesn’t require 3DS.
40+
If you're unable to complete your payment due to 3DS:
2841

29-
> [!TIP]
42+
1. Retry your transaction. Make sure you're completing the verification
43+
prompt in the same browser tab.
44+
1. Use a different payment method. Some cards may not support 3DS properly
45+
or be blocked.
46+
1. Contact your bank. Your bank may be blocking the payment or the 3DS
47+
verification attempt.
48+
49+
> [!NOTE]
3050
>
31-
> Make sure you allow third-party scripts in your browser and that any ad blocker you may use is disabled when attempting to complete payments.
51+
> Disabling ad blockers or browser extensions that block pop-ups can help
52+
the 3DS prompt display correctly.
