Send security codes by SMS
To protect yourself against the risk of identity theft or other threats to online services (malware, phishing, replay attacks), opt for additional security at SMS, such as two-factor authentication via SMS OTP. Security via SMS enhances the security of online payments, account creation, or access to protected sessions.
Secure your systems
Ideal for maintenance teams and departments, the OTP (One Time Password) solution, sent by SMS, is a universal, robust and flexible authentication system with a high level of security. Based on an online service integrated into a website or application, sending a SMS incorporating a secret, temporary code to the user's cell phone number is an increasingly popular practice.

The various uses of the security code by SMS
Payment confirmation, password recovery, secure log-in, electronic signature... The SMS OTP and its security code are a digital tool with many uses.
Online payment security
The unique code sent by SMS to a cell phone or smartphone can guarantee the security of an Internet transaction. Widely used and adopted by online banks offering virtual cards, secure transactions via SMS effectively combat theft and fraudulent payments.
Access to a customer account or online space
Sending a unique password by mobile message also makes it possible to log in and access a customer account or dedicated online space securely. Ensure connection security and overcome the shortcomings associated with the traditional duo: passwords + email. Attempted connections are limited to secure access on public networks and drastically reduce the possibility of brute force attacks. The SMS security code can also be used to reset passwords or replace passwords at login.
Verifying a person's identity
OTP is also used to verify and confirm a person's identity via the validity of their mobile number. The aim is to guarantee the veracity, reliability and trustworthiness of the contact profiles created (particularly in the creation of a sharing community) or the legal use of your service. This is a highly effective technique for qualifying leads.
Electronic signature of an online document
Validating administrative procedures, signing contracts online, etc.: the dematerialization of procedures requires a high level of protection for the digital validation of documents. The SMS OTP service is easy to use, reliable and secure. What's more, it has legal probative value for electronic signatures.
How does SMS security work?
The user makes a request to send code to the previously registered mobile number or, if necessary, seizes his phone number when he wants to identify himself or connect to your system.
A one-time password is created and sent to the user in real time by SMS . If sending or receiving fails, an error status code (40x or 50x) is sent to you.
The user enters the password in the field provided, and verification of the OTP allows the user to continue with the scenario you have defined (access to private pages, validation of a payment, etc.).
