+For VSC-4 and VSC-5, a valid mobile phone number is necessary because login requires a two-factor authentication (password and SMS-token).
-For reasons of security, changing the phone number **will not automatically** lead to creation of a new token. In this case, contact {{:doku:contact_vsc-red_.png?160|}} to accept the **new phone number** and to create a new token.
+Changing the phone number will create a new token, but this can take up to half an hour. Some phone numbers (especially US numbers) may not work immediately and need adaptations at our provider - is this case, please contact us.
+If, for some reason, a phone number cannot be used by you, a hardware key (Yubikey) can be used. This provides two-factor authentication via a USB device. The Yubikey needs to be fetched from us, so please contact us if this is needed.
