Configuring Text Set-up/Sign-in

To allow Users to verify their account or password reset via text message, either confirm or add the following information to your Domains/Account page. When they're in place, your Users will be able to verify their account or log in via text.

  • SMS Server Name: Twillio Account SID.
  • SMS Server Password: Twillio Auth Token.
  • SMS Server Callback Secret: A generated GUID value. Pro Tip: Use a GUID Generator to quickly generate a random value.

To allow your users to verify their account or reset their password, you must configure texting via the New Message Tool, complete with an outbound SMS text number.

  • MFA Required: You can require all (or some) of your Users to use Multi-Factor Authentication. Read all about it here.
