Office Controller
“TextMagic allowed us to send and receive information to drivers and engineers all from one set point. It's much easier than different members of the office staff sending instructions on their mobiles and then when they leave the office we do not have a data trail.”
Read case studyIt’s easy for businesses to add an extra layer of security to their apps in the form of 2FA.
Your server makes an API call to the TextMagic endpoint and passes the destination number that should be verified with 2FA.
The user with the destination phone number will receive a one-time verification code that will be used to complete the verification.
A user will enter the code into a form in your app and you will pass the code to TextMagic via API. We will then send back the result.

No security measure is perfect. SMS 2FA is no exception. Before we discuss the weaknesses of two-factor authentication, it is essential to note that the vast majority of users don’t use any security measures whatsoever. For example, 90 percent of Gmail users are not actively using 2FA.
App-based two-factor authentication is considered superior to SMS-based authentication. However, using SMS 2FA is a lot better than not using any protection at all. That’s because hackers will have to spend more time trying to bypass your systems.
A one-time password (OTP) is a mechanism through which the TextMagic API generates a single-use password that is linked to the user’s phone number. This mechanism is crucial for 2FA.
Many service providers, including Google, mobile banking systems, and payment processors, use OTP SMS to prevent identity theft and secure transactions.
Before you can start sending 2FA SMS, you must integrate the TextMagic API with your software. Everything you need to know about the 2FA system is available in our API documentation. This includes parameters and rules for sending and checking verification codes.
The verification workflow is simple. Our API sends a PIN code via SMS. If there is no answer, it will follow up with voice calls. Here is the step-by-step workflow:
Important: users must wait five minutes for the initial code to expire before they can request a new one.
