SMS OTP

Verify logins and transactions with one-time passwords by SMS.

SMS OTP software product

Overview

SMS OTP adds one-time-password delivery to your software. A user enters a mobile number, receives a code by SMS and verifies it to log in or confirm an action. Our own products already use OTP login, so the flow, the limits and the screens are familiar territory.

In the current builds of several of our products OTPs use a fixed code for testing. Connecting a live SMS gateway is the step that makes them production-ready, and it is what this service delivers.

  • OTP login and verification
  • Expiry and attempt limits
  • Resend controls
  • DLT-ready templates

FAQs

Questions about SMS OTP

What is DLT?

In India, businesses must register their sender ID and message templates with the operators before sending commercial SMS. The registration is made in your business name, and we prepare the template text.

Can the OTP be sent by WhatsApp or email instead?

Yes. See the WhatsApp Integration and Transactional Email services.
