SMS-based authentication
SMS-based authentication is a security process where a verification code is sent via text message to your mobile phone. When you try to access an account or complete a transaction, you receive a unique code on your phone, which you then enter to confirm your identity. This adds an extra layer of security by ensuring that only someone with access to your physical phone can gain access, even if someone else knows your password. It’s a common way to verify your identity quickly and securely during login or sensitive activities.
