Why Two-Factor Authentication?

Protect your users and your business

Prevent Account Takeovers

2FA stops 99% of automated attacks. Even if passwords are compromised, attackers can't access accounts without the second factor verification code.

Meet Compliance Requirements

Many industries require multi-factor authentication. Stay compliant with PCI-DSS, HIPAA, SOC 2, and other security standards with 2FA.

Build User Trust

Users expect 2FA from modern applications. Show your commitment to security and gain user confidence with two-factor authentication.

Reduce Fraud Costs

Prevent unauthorized transactions and account fraud. 2FA dramatically reduces fraud-related losses and customer support costs.

2FA API Features

Everything you need for secure authentication

SMS 2FA

Send verification codes via SMS to any phone number worldwide. Universal compatibility with all mobile carriers and devices.

Email 2FA

Cost-effective 2FA via email. Perfect for applications where users prefer email verification or as a fallback option.

WhatsApp 2FA

Higher open rates with WhatsApp verification. Official Meta Business API integration with rich media support.

Multi-Channel Fallback

Automatic failover between channels. Try SMS first, fallback to email or WhatsApp if delivery fails.

Time-Based Codes

Configurable expiration times for verification codes. Balance security and user experience with customizable timeouts.

Rate Limiting

Built-in protection against brute force attacks. Configurable rate limits and retry logic to prevent abuse.

Simple 2FA Integration

Add two-factor authentication in just a few lines of code

// Send 2FA code
const response = await fetch('https://api.sendmator.com/v1/otp/generate', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    identifier: '+1234567890',  // or email
    channel: 'sms',  // or 'email', 'whatsapp'
    fallback_channels: ['email', 'whatsapp'],  // Auto-fallback
    expiry_seconds: 300  // 5 minute expiration
  })
});

const { session_id } = await response.json();

// Store session_id and show verification form to user

// Verify 2FA code
const verify = await fetch('https://api.sendmator.com/v1/otp/verify', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    session_id: session_id,
    code: userEnteredCode
  })
});

const { verified } = await verify.json();

if (verified) {
  // Grant access - user passed 2FA
  console.log('2FA verification successful!');
} else {
  // Deny access - invalid code
  console.log('Invalid verification code');
}
