General 2FA (OTP) setup
Two-factor authentication (2FA) is a security process where a user must provide two authentication factors to prove their identity before accessing their account or making a transaction. For online transactions, two-factor authentication usually includes a one-time pin (OTP) sent to a user's mobile device via SMS, email, or another channel.
Infobip 2FA API allows you to send OTP messages over SMS, email, and voice channels, and to verify OTPs received from your customers.
Some common uses of OTP validation are:
- OTP as a second factor in combination with a password or other form of authentication
- Passwordless log in, only verifying user's phone number via OTP
- OTP as an extra layer of security for sensitive actions, triggering additional verification
