No More Post-its: Boost your login security with APIs
#1about 5 minutes

Understanding the vulnerabilities of password-based authentication

Passwords are a major security risk because they are easily forgotten, guessed, or cracked, as demonstrated by common password lists and data breaches.

#2about 2 minutes

Implementing two-factor authentication with the Verify API

Add an extra layer of security by implementing two-factor authentication (2FA) using one-time passwords (OTP) delivered via SMS, voice, or other channels with an API.

#3about 2 minutes

Verifying phone numbers and preventing SIM swap attacks

Ensure the phone number receiving an OTP is valid and protect against SIM swap fraud by checking for recent SIM card changes using dedicated APIs.

#4about 2 minutes

Creating a seamless login with silent authentication

Authenticate users frictionlessly in the background by verifying their identity through their mobile data connection and SIM card without requiring manual input.

#5about 2 minutes

Using biometrics and location as authentication factors

Incorporate advanced authentication factors like biometrics for "something you are" and geolocation for "somewhere you are" to further enhance security.

#6about 2 minutes

A summary of APIs for multi-layered security

A recap of the various APIs available to build a robust, multi-layered authentication system covering what you know, have, are, and where you are.
