I have been using Porkbun for domain name registration until now, but I wanted to move to a European registrar. When I registered a domain, I received this email. Is it normal?. If not what registrar do you use? I have filled in my name and address while registering an account and have 2fa on. It’s an id verifier app.

The app https://apps.apple.com/us/app/infomaniak-kcheck/id1500022928

To infomaniaks credit they gave me a refund instantly when i asked.

    Not really. 2FA or other “strong” authentification for requesting the auth-code is common.

    The receiving registrar doesn’t care at all.

    Likely the only check there is, is fraud protection and that is them protecting themself against payment frauds and not you/the domain.

      There are independent apps for that where you can link all your accounts.

      Others have pointed out the app is for identification which makes sense to have an app to secure the exchange, but a lot of them don’t request identification in most cases.
