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.

You need a Twilio account to use this feature because all SMS’ are sent through Twilio.

You need to configure the following:
- Account SID
- Auth Token
- Messaging Service SID (or a Twilio phone number)

Signing in users with a phone number is a two-step process:
