What is Flash Call Verification?

With Sinch Flash Call Verification, phone numbers can be verified with minimal user interaction. A dropped call is placed and the incoming call number acts as the OTP code, just like with SMS. The code is processed automatically on Android for a seamless UX.
How does Flash Call Verification work?

A call is made to the user's mobile phone and a request is then passed to the provider’s backend to authenticate that user. The verification can happen automatically without the user even noticing via the SDK, or they can enter their phone number manually in a text field to get verified.
How can two-factor authentication protect sensitive data?

An additional layer of security, or a second factor, can protect users from fraudulent attempts to access online accounts. Further proof of ID in addition to a password, such as an OTP texted to a mobile phone, makes it much harder to get access.
How to use two-factor authentication to confirm user ID?

2FA pairs something a user knows with something they have - for example, a password and a mobile phone. It’s that second layer of security that helps protect an account. If someone is unable to input a PIN code sent via SMS to the mobile phone linked to the account, access is denied.
Does it work on platforms other than Android?

Flash Call Verification works seamlessly on Android but needs the user to input the OTP on the web and iOS. Due to the poor UX on iOS, we only recommend Flash Call for Android and web applications.
