Premium

Overview

Send one-time passcodes via Feathery SMS to validate submitted phone numbers.

What you need

Background

An SMS one-time passcode (OTP) is a temporary, numerical code sent to a user's mobile device via text message, used to authenticate or verify the user's identity for secure access to online services or transactions. It adds an extra layer of security, known as two-factor authentication, by ensuring that the person attempting to access a service is in possession of the registered phone.

Benefits

Using SMS OTPs enhances security by adding an extra layer of verification, reducing the risk of unauthorized access. It's user-friendly, as most people are familiar with SMS, and it ensures that only the person with access to the registered mobile number can authenticate actions, offering real-time validation.

Considerations

When evaluating the use of SMS OTPs, consider reliability and delivery rates, potential costs, user accessibility to SMS services, security concerns like interception or social engineering, regulatory compliance, and the user experience, ensuring it's not too disruptive.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the

"When inside of" nested selector

system.
