Text message 2 FA is one of Veem's available 2FA options used to enhance account security.
What is text message 2 FA?
Text message 2 FA (also known as SMS 2FA) is a type of authentication that often involves sending a short one-time password (OTP) to the user's registered phone number via text message, to enhance the account security. The account user is required to enter the one-time password during the log-in process to gain access to their account.
How does it work?
With SMS 2FA, the account user is required to enter the one-time password delivered via SMS (short message service, or a text message) during the log-in process as an extra security step, to gain access to their account i.e.:
1. User enters their email address and password
2. User receives an SMS with a one-time password
3. User enters the password in the log-in form
4. User gains access to the account.
Why is it useful?
SMS-Based Two-Factor Authentication is an option to use to secure your account as it does not require your phone to be connected to the internet.
