Enable Two-Factor Authentication

Two-factor authentication (2FA) gives you confidence that the number your customer provides you with belongs to them. If you are sending SMS to customers in the US, you can use a short code for this. A customer verifies their number by responding directly to the short code or via your web application. Nexmo's Two-Factor Authentication API provides this capability.

These instructions assume that you are using a shared short code. Nexmo also offers dedicated short codes specific to your organization. Find out more about short codes here.

To configure a shared US short code for 2FA:

  1. Sign in to the developer dashboard.
  2. In the left-hand navigation menu, click Numbers then Buy numbers.
  3. Click the add a shared short code link.
  4. Click the Add a short code for two factor authentication button.
  5. Configure your message and company name.
  6. Click Update. Nexmo will process your application. Approval can take up to five business days.

Mandatory requirements for short codes

When you use a preapproved US short code from Nexmo, you MUST display the following information on your site's opt-in page:

  • Frequency: How often users of your service can expect to receive messages from you
  • How to opt out: Send a STOP SMS to your short code.
  • How to get help: Send a HELP SMS to your short code.
  • The cost to your users to receive your messages (message and data rate)
  • The terms and conditions for your service
  • Your privacy policy

Example:

You will receive no more than 2 msgs/day. To opt-out at any time, send STOP to 98765.
To receive more information, send HELP to 98765. Message and data rates may apply.
