What Is Mobile Authentication?

Mobile authentication involves verifying a user's identity through their mobile device and one or more authentication methods to ensure secure access. This is crucial for protecting sensitive information from potential hackers, especially as personal mobile devices are increasingly used in the workplace. To implement mobile authentication, users can use unique passwords for every login, enable two-factor authentication (2FA), use a virtual private network (VPN) when on public Wi-Fi networks, and install antivirus software that is kept updated. Twilio Verify offers an easy way to apply mobile authentication across devices by verifying users on any channel and enabling mobile push authentication.
