Task

2 factor authentication

Implement 2 factor authentication (using SMS) on a sign up page

Resources

• API Reference
• Helper libraries
• Sandbox
• Simulator

Tips

Create a simple sign up page where you collect a users name, phone number and password. Send the phone number a verification token and request it on the sign up form to complete validation.

You will need to sign up on AfricasTalking and get an API Key, create an app and send an sms to the a phone number (in this case, the Simulator).

You are free to build using any language, using the available SDKs or the API directly. We advise building a clean simple form

The documentation is your friend. Carefully go through it, learn how the API works

Extra points for good user experience, form validation, single page applications
