Two-Factor Authentication

Any two-factor authentication, verification, or one-time passcode

What is 2FA?

SMS 2FA is a type of authentication often used next to the standard password during Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) or Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). SMS 2FA involves sending a short one-time password (OTP) to the user via text message. The user must enter the one-time password into the log-in form to prove their identity and gain access to their account.


AGE Texting also offers Timed one-time passwords (TOTP) which generates a short passcode that is active for a specific number of minutes.


SMS-Based Two-Factor Authentication does not require your phone to be online, an advantage over many other authentication methods that require a stable Internet connection.


How does 2FA Work

  1. User enters their password

  2. User receives an SMS with one-time password

  3. User enters their one-time password in the log-in form

  4. User gains access
