This secret is usually stored on the user’s device and is used to generate a code that can be used for 2FA. It uses an algorithm that generates a code based on a shared secret between the user and the service provider.

TOTP is a method of generating a one-time code that expires after a certain amount of time. Time-based One-time Passwords (TOTP) are supported by Microsoft Authenticator, Google Authenticator, and Authy, and go hand in hand with Authenticator apps.

These apps generate one-time codes that can be used as your secondary verification method and are available for both iOS and Android, offering more security than SMS-based 2FA. Once configured with your 2FA tokens, the Authy app can be used to provide updated codes without the need for a constant internet connection.The best alternative to SMS-based 2FA is an authenticator app like Microsoft Authenticator, Google Authenticator, or Authy. If your user is unable to receive calls or messages, they may have better results using the Authy app. Use the Authy app for 2FA codes (for Authy API only) To successfully receive a 2FA code, the number used can’t be behind an extension or go straight to voicemail. Please note, this method will require the user to answer a live phone call, as they will need to enter codes into the phone. If 2FA codes are not arriving via SMS, have your end user attempt to receive the token via phone call. Phone calls usually arrive much faster than SMS, and can be a good alternative to users experiencing issues receiving messages. Notice: If you are experiencing continued, repeatable SMS delivery issues to the same destination country with Verify, please collect 3 or more logs from the last 24 hours, and then escalate these issues to our Twilio Messaging Support team.

Can the device receive SMS from other sources? Some mobile providers may block messages from certain senders or number types - check with the carrier for more details.

Is the device connected to the home carrier's network? Message delivery on devices roaming internationally, or off-network, are more likely to fail due to the extra message hops involved and some users having restrictive messaging plans.

Does their device have sufficient signal? If not, have them power the device off, wait 30 seconds, and then power it back up.

Do you have the right phone number on file for your end user?.

If end users are reporting missing OTP SMS from your app, please troubleshoot with the following checklist: If your OTP message shows that it was successfully delivered, you'll want to check with your end user to ensure they are able to successfully receive text messages. Here's an example of what a failed message looks like:Ĭlick the timestamp of a failed attempt to view more details about the message, including a link to troubleshooting for any error codes present.

These records show the SMS's delivery status, and any error codes flagged in the delivery of the message. Records from OTP messages sent via Verify can be found in your service's Logs in Console.

That said, there are several steps that can be taken for troubleshooting message delivery. SMS is considered a “best effort protocol”, as we can only confirm the message has been successfully delivered to the sending carrier.
