Use Auth0 Actions to enable SMS-based MFA with Plivo.
Logging into a website with your username and password is a straightforward way to log in and access your content. You've been doing it for years, you've created several passwords, and it works. Logging in with just a password isn't as secure for your users as it used to be. Hackers can steal passwords from one site and use credential stuffing to pose as your user and gain access to other sites. It's common for your users to re-use passwords since they have several to remember across all their applications. You can help keep your users' data secure by offering another layer of protection by enabling Multi-factor Authentication (MFA).

You've likely experienced MFA in real life. For example, if you start working for a new company, they may ask for your ID card and a birth certificate. Those are two different factors of identification. It helps verify you are who you say you are to make sure your paycheck goes to you and lowers the success rate of someone posing as you.
In this blog post, you'll learn how to implement SMS-based MFA with Auth0 Actions and Plivo.
Prerequisites
- An Auth0 account
- A Plivo account

If you do not have a Plivo account or an Auth0 account, you can sign up for a free Plivo account and a free Auth0 account.
