Summary

Twilio has announced that its Verify Push solution, which enables secure and cost-effective user verification through push notifications, is now generally available. This solution allows companies to add a low-friction, secure second factor to their applications, eliminating the security risks and UX hassles associated with traditional One-Time Passcodes (OTPs). With Verify Push, users can authenticate themselves with one touch on their phone or computer, providing a silent and frictionless 2FA experience. The solution is built on public key cryptography and provides detailed information about each verification, making it easier to comply with security requirements such as Strong Customer Authentication. It also offers predictable costs and scalability, making it an attractive option for companies looking to balance fighting fraud and protecting users while providing a seamless UX.
