How passwordless authentication works
1. User starts app
The user taps a button to request a verification code when they are ready to login.
2. Verify delivers a single-use login code
Verify delivers a one-time-use code to the user’s registered phone via SMS, voice, or push notification.
3. User enters the code
The user demonstrates that they hold the registered device by entering the received code in the app.
4. Verified users gain access
The app confirms that the entered code is correct and allows the user to login.

Why choose Vonage APIs for passwordless authentication?
Lowest latency everywhere
Vonage APIs are uniquely equipped to ensure your verification codes reach the user in a matter of seconds. Vonage has more direct carrier relationships than any other provider, ensuring the lowest number of hops.
Intelligent conversion optimization
Our Adaptive Routing algorithm continuously monitors message delivery performance all around the world, to automatically find the best routes for your message. And we provide a seamless escalation, from re-tries to text-to-voice, until the user converts.
Local compliance at global scale
Our Compliance Engine keeps track of the many different regulations imposed by countries and carriers on SMS, then intelligently ensures your messages won't be blocked or filtered for being in the wrong format.
Pay only for success
You pay only when your users successfully login. We'll keep trying (at no cost to you) via SMS, and then failover to text-to-voice to ensure your users get access when they want it.
Heavy lifting done for you
Vonage Verify API provides the user authentication management backend so you don't have to build it. The Verify SDK also provides a customizable user experience framework so you can easily create the UI in your app from pre-built elements.Related solutions
