Verify Your Oculus Developer Account - only possible with credit card?

I have no credit card. I have verified a payment method. I have a phone number. But I have no credit card. Is there another possibility to register as developer?

You don't need both a credit card and two-factor authentication, just one or the other. If you've already added a phone number, you should be fine.

DK2, CV1, Go, Quest, Quest 2, Quest 3.


Try my game: Cyclops Island Demo

For facebook merged accounts, the 2FA phone stuff isn't available, the credit card is the only way to approve a developer. Only older oculus accounts get the choice of both. It's still not sure if that is a bug or not.

Hi all, is there any danger to record a credit card on their site ? I did it but I am still uncomfortable with that... Thanks for your (reassuring) answers !

Basically they already have your Payment details for the store etc so your not giving them anything new.
No idea really why we had to do it again to be honest.

I don't know why some needed to do it again. When I went to verify, they had added my card from the store so the verification was already complete.

This would be a lot easier if Facebook just let people use their headsets how they want, then they wouldn't be flooded with fake developers who just want things like custom beat saber songs.

I filled out the debit details and they just charged me 73p (despite not buying anything on their store seams like just registering an account) I'm now having to call my bank to reset my card as I'm worried about giving them access to my account given I didn't agree to this!

I'm disappointed in Facebook as there shouldn't be issues like this with such a big company and being charged unaware just to peruse an interest in developing VR for their oculus system particularly is very shady and makes me worry about other security issues on their other platforms.
