Why start using phone OTP verification?
Sending temporary codes or one-time passwords is a common and especially useful solution in different scenarios:
- Multi-factor authentication. Verify the identity of your new users in signup processes, by checking that the phone number provided really belongs to them.
- Passwordless login. It allows registered users to open their session without having to remember a password, sending them a temporary code when they want to log in.
- Lead qualification. Verify that the phone number provided belongs to the lead, before adding the contact to your marketing and sales database.
- Coupon campaigns. Prevent fraud when launching coupon campaigns, to ensure that the same person cannot use different accounts to benefit from a discount.
Twilio: Sending temporary codes by SMS
To verify users by sending OTPs by SMS you will only need to customize this template and connect it with your Twilio account by pasting a few data.
It consists of a form with 2 steps and 2 flows with custom logic. The first step of the form will ask for a phone number and, the second one, for the code sent to it.
In the backend, a flow will generate and send the OTP after the user inputs the phone number, and a second flow will validate it after inputting it in the form.
All the templates are fully editable. So you can add more steps, texts, fields, flows with custom logic and integrations, and even modify its design.
