Learn about SMS OTP
An SMS OTP (one-time password) is a secure authorization method where a numeric or alphanumeric code is sent to a mobile phone number.
Nhost supports OTP via SMS with Twilio.
Configuration
You need a Twilio account to use this feature because all SMS’ are sent through Twilio.
Enable the Phone Number (SMS) sign-in method in the Nhost Dashboard under Settings -> Sign-In Methods -> Phone Number (SMS).
You need to configure the following:
- Account SID
- Auth Token
- Messaging Service SID (or a Twilio phone number)
Sign In
Signing in users with a phone number is a two-step process:
Request OTP
The user will receive the OTP on the phone number specified.
await nhost.auth.signIn({
phoneNumber: '+11233213123'
})
Sign In with OTP
To sign in the user, pass in the OTP received on the previous step.
await nhost.auth.signIn({
