Umm... have you ever actually read the stuff by the verification codes? It says right by them that they're for security purposes and so they know its not just a computer trying to get into it. If you have a question for that stuff just read it. It’ll answer the question for you.
Oh and by the way, the word “what” is spelled with an “H”
