Why SMS / Voice Verification is Here to Stay
Okta will sunset its SMS and voice verification service on chinese malaysia phone number list September 15, meaning all Okta users need to bring their own provider (BYOP) to continue offering one-time passcode (OTP) verification using these channels. Okta will focus on password-less options like FastPass or FIDO2 WebAuthn.
While FastPass and WebAuthn undeniably offer advanced security features, we believe SMS and voice authentication methods remain relevant in enterprise environments. There are compelling reasons enterprises should continue using Plivo with Okta for SMS and voice OTP authentication. Not only that, but Plivo makes it easy to integrate with Okta and make sure your customers never experience a delay, miss an OTP, or get frustrated trying to log in.
