User-friendly alternative to SMS two-factor authentication any product manager must know
SMS two-factor authentication (2FA) is an additional security method that uses SMS one-time passwords (OTP) or codes that are delivered via text message. When trying to log into their accounts, users are prompted to enter an OTP delivered via SMS (short message service or a text message) in specially designed pages or fields to verify a transaction or login.
