Access to a customer account or online space

Ensure connection security and overcome the shortcomings associated with the traditional duo: passwords + email. Log-in attempts 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 log-in.
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.

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 in real time by SMS to the user. 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.).

smsmode© has developed a dedicated routing channel for OTP messages to guarantee maximum, instant reception. This ensures that you benefit from all the advantages and potential of SMS data protection.
SMS password simplicity
Based on the cell phone number and the simple act of receiving an SMS, the use of SMS security is intuitive, universal and straightforward for the end-user, which is why it is currently widely approved.
Universality and maximum accessibility
SMS does not require an Internet connection and is not subject to SPAM. OTP relies on support for all terminals and full coverage by mobile operators to provide a service that is not limited geographically or temporally.
Extra level of safety
The "one time password" is the basis of two-factor authentication ("what I know (password) + what I have (phone)"). The password sent by SMS is intended for a single use and lasts a maximum of 15 minutes, giving it a high level of protection for all connections, a good user experience, and helps combat fraud and suspicious activity.
Major deployment opportunities
Based on an API compatible with the most common programming languages (PHP, Java, ASP, C++, Ruby, WINDEV, etc.) and requiring no maintenance, SMS authentication can be deployed in a wide variety of fields, sectors and uses: online banking, e-learning portals, healthcare sites, protection of highly confidential information, etc.
