How we authenticate using SMS:
Here’s how we harness the power of single-use, time-limited codes to verify possession and intent at critical moments.
Reality Check: Security in Action
A fraudster tries to onboard with someone else’s phone number. The real user receives the OTP, while the imposter is left out – access denied, risk averted.
Reality Check: Security in Action
A user initiates a qualified electronic signature. Before the process completes, they must enter the OTP sent to their phone. Only the true owner can finish the signing – protecting against remote fraud.
Reality Check: Security in Action
A customer completes identity verification and is ready to sign. Since strong identification just occurred, the OTP step is skipped, speeding up the experience, without sacrificing security or compliance.
