Abstract
A device receives a request from a user to manage a Mobile Network Operator (MNO) profile stored in a smart card within the device, wherein the MNO profile includes one or more network access credentials for accessing a wireless network. The device performs a Completely Automated Public Turing Test to tell Computers and Humans Apart (CAPTCHA), wherein the CAPTCHA includes receiving input from the user, and authenticates the user as a human, and not a bot or other automated activity, based on the CAPTCHA and the input from the user. The device receives, from a network node external to the device responsive to the authenticating, a MNO profile management code, and manages the MNO profile based on the received MNO profile management code.
