Louvre Museum compulsory time slot for Paris Museum Pass holder

I recently found out Musée du Louvre requires compulsory time slot booking for Paris Museum Pass (PMP) holders. So I tried to book it on their website earlier today; and was able to do it successfully even though I haven't bought my Paris Museum Pass (will do it when I get to Paris). Here're a summary of the steps I took in case anyone is interested:

  1. Create a user account https://www.ticketlouvre.fr/louvre/b2c/index.cfm/account-login
    • Click Select language to select the language of your choice at right top corner
    • Click Sign up on the right hand side.
    • Fill in all your details
    • Click I'm not a robot and Sign up
  2. After the page is refreshed
    • Click your username at the right top corner
    • Click My account
    • Under Your account informations, enter your mobile or home phone number (this is needed below)
    • Click Confirm
  3. To book time slot for PMP, return to official Louvre online sales site https://www.ticketlouvre.fr/louvre/b2c/index.cfm/home
    • Click Paris Museum Pass holders option
    • Select date, time and number of tickets
    • Click Confirm
    • Under Review your order, click I agree to the Terms and Conditions ....
    • Click Confirm your order
    • Under Enter all the information enter your first and last name
    • For N° de série ^^ (serial number), enter the phone number you've provided earlier if you haven't bought your PMP yet
    • Click Payment (should be 0,00 € since you're using PMP)
    • You should receive an email confirmation soon after
  4. To double check your order
    • click your username
    • click My orders
  5. If you no longer need your time slot order you should cancel it (so it's freed up for other visitors)
    • Click the down arrow next to your order
    • Click Cancel

^^ For N° de série; I'm assuming if you have bought your PMP online then it should come with a number which you can enter it here.

Edit:
Apparently N° de série does not have to be your phone number; it just have to be any number with 9 to 12 digits. Anything else will be rejected as invalid. Thanks Tocard for pointing this out :)

For the N° de série, you can put anything in. What you ultimately need is a reservation and a ticket or pass.

@Tocard

You are quite right; I just experimented on it and it turned out any number with 9 to 12 digits will be accepted; anything else will give an invalid message en Saisie invalide. So it does not have to be your phone number; it could be any number with 9 to 12 digits.
