Build Your Own Two-Factor Authentication Solution

In today’s digital landscape, security is a paramount concern for businesses of all sizes. Two-factor authentication (2FA) has emerged as a critical tool in the fight against automated account attacks, blocking over 99% of such attempts on average. However, developing a custom 2FA solution has historically been a complex and time-consuming process, and many out-of-the-box solutions come with their own limitations. Mobility Tech USA is here to change that. With our SMS, Voice, and Verify APIs, developers can quickly and easily integrate robust 2FA into any point of the customer journey.

Why Two-Factor Authentication?

1. Enhanced Security
   • Multi-Layer Protection: 2FA adds an extra layer of security by requiring users to provide two forms of identification before accessing their accounts.
   • Reduction of Automated Attacks: By incorporating 2FA, businesses can significantly reduce the risk of automated attacks, protecting sensitive information and maintaining user trust.
2. User Confidence
   • Trust Building: When users know that their accounts are protected by 2FA, they are more likely to trust your platform and engage with your services.
   • Compliance: Many industries require 2FA to comply with regulations and standards, ensuring your business meets necessary security requirements.

Challenges of Building Custom 2FA Solutions

While 2FA is essential, developing a custom solution can be daunting. Traditional challenges include:

• Complex Implementation: Setting up a secure and reliable 2FA system involves multiple steps, from user verification to integration with existing systems.
• Resource Intensive: Developing and maintaining a 2FA solution requires significant time and resources, often diverting focus from core business activities.
• Limitations of Pre-Built Solutions: Out-of-the-box 2FA solutions may not offer the flexibility or scalability required to meet unique business needs.

How Mobility Tech USA Simplifies 2FA

Mobility Tech USA offers a suite of APIs designed to streamline the implementation of 2FA, making it accessible and efficient for developers.

1. SMS API
   • Reliable Delivery: Send one-time passcodes (OTPs) via SMS to ensure users receive timely and secure verification codes.
   • Global Reach: Our SMS API supports international messaging, allowing you to verify users anywhere in the world.
2. Voice API
   • Voice Verification: For users who prefer voice calls, our Voice API can deliver OTPs via automated voice messages, ensuring accessibility.
   • Customizable Messages: Tailor your voice messages to fit your brand’s tone and style, enhancing the user experience.
3. Verify API
   • Simplified Verification: Our Verify API handles the entire verification process, from generating OTPs to validating user input, reducing the complexity of 2FA implementation.
   • Flexible Integration: Integrate our Verify API at any point in the customer journey, whether during account creation, login, or transaction approval.

How It Works

1. Set Up Verification-Capable Phone Numbers
   • Instantly provision and configure phone numbers for calling and messaging in 200+ countries via the Mobility Tech USA Mission Control Portal.
2. Configure Your Application to Interact with the Verify API
   • Set up your application to call the Mobility Tech USA Verify API when the user submits the correct criteria. This will trigger a PIN code to be sent via SMS, voice, flash call, or WhatsApp to the phone number associated with that user’s account.
3. Deliver and Verify PIN Codes
   • The user receives a code and enters it into your application’s PIN code input field. Your application then sends a request to the Verify API with the user’s details and entered PIN code to check if it’s correct.
4. Verify API Responds with Appropriate Result
   • If the code matches the one generated, the API will send a positive response, and your application can grant the user access in accordance with your configuration. If it isn’t, the API will deliver a negative response, and you can ask the user to try again or request a new code.
