Exabytes bulk SMS has introduced a new feature for bulk SMS two-factor authentication via API.
What is two-factor authentication (2FA)
Two-factor authentication (2FA) is an additional security measure that necessitates users to provide both their online password and mobile phone to confirm their identity for accessing a service or web application. Alongside their service credentials, the user receives a one-time PIN (OTP) sent to their mobile device, either via SMS or Voice. This one-time PIN is generated and dispatched to the user's phone. Upon receiving the OTP, the user inputs it into the application to verify their identity. If the PIN sent to the user corresponds with the one entered, the user is permitted to proceed with the process.

Step 3: Bulk SMS delivers your OTP to the user's mobile device.
Step 4: Your user enters this OTP into your application.
Step 5: Verify the OTP through the bulk SMS API
