Summary
The Twilio Verify API allows developers to send and verify One-Time Passcodes (OTPs) for phone number verification, which can help prevent bots, increase deliverability, and build trust. To get started with Verify, users need a Twilio account and a Verify Service, which they can create in the Twilio console. A quick deploy application is available on Twilio's Code Exchange that provides building blocks such as international telephone input, sending an OTP, and checking an OTP, allowing developers to customize and extend its functionality for their own applications.
