Generate your own one-time passcode with Verify API

Who is affected: Verify API customers
Products affected: Verify API

Changes

  • New Verify API parameter for POST request:  Use the new security_factor parameter to define your own one-time passcode (OTP) for a verification process. This gets applied to all OTP-based methods (SMS, WhatsApp, etc.) in the active verification policy. By default the length of OTPs is limited to six-digits, contact Telesign Customer Support to change the configured OTP length (minimum three-digits, maximum 10-digits). See Create a verification process for full reference details about this parameter.
  • New use for existing Verify API parameter for PATCH request: Use the security_factor parameter to send Telesign your end user's asserted OTP, so you can end the verification process and avoid added costs due to additional sends to the same end user. See Update a verification process for full reference details about this parameter.
