Verify API has reduced all of the unnecessary steps for sending 2FA codes to devices, making it easier than ever to secure login requests, confirm account changes, and authenticate devices.
It takes just two steps in our portal to set up a 2FA profile with Telnyx Verify API.
Step 1: Create a 2FA profile that contains the configurations for sending out two factor authentication codes.
Step 2: Create a 2FA verification using the 2FA profile ID and the end user’s phone number.
To get started, you can access our in-depth documentation here. SDK updates on Python, Ruby, Node, PHP, Java, and .NET coming soon.
