Summary

Three levels of account security are offered by Twilio: SoftToken for TOTP token generation, OneTouch for a frictionless push notification-based solution, and OneCode for globally accessible delivery of TOTP tokens via SMS or voice. To use 2FA to protect the Twilio account, one must enable it from the Account Settings in the Twilio Console, choosing from two different frequency settings: requiring the second factor on every login or placing trust in the computer used to sign in and requiring security code entry just once every 30 days. Once enabled, users will be asked to verify a code delivered via SMS, phone call, or Authy app to complete the process and enable two-factor security in their Twilio account.
