Plivo Verify

What Plivo Verify is

Plivo Verify is an API for sending and validating one-time passwords used in two-factor authentication. Its API documentation covers SMS and voice delivery, while the pricing page also lists WhatsApp channel charges. Applications can set OTP length from 4 to 8 digits, expiry, delivery attempts, message templates, and Android AppHash. Fraud Shield monitors traffic in real time and blocks suspicious messages to help guard against SMS pumping. Quick-start examples are available for Python, Node.js, Ruby, and cURL to create and validate OTP sessions. Verification and Fraud Shield carry no per-contact fee, but channel charges apply. Verify is not enabled by default: it is provisioned to direct brands with a minimum monthly commitment of USD 1,000/month for the US, Canada, UK, Australia, and India (ILDO), or USD 10,000/month for additional pre-registration countries. Customers do not need sender registration or KYC because Plivo uses its own registered Sender IDs. Plivo says data is encrypted in transit with TLS 1.2 or greater and at rest with AES-256; it also states SOC 2 certification and PCI DSS Level 1 compliance. Founded in 2011, the company lists Austin, Texas, as its headquarters.
