Summary

This article discusses how to use Twilio Verify API with Firebase and React Redux to improve the security of an application by sending SMS OTPs to users when they register. To implement this, developers need to set up a Firebase account, create a Firestore database, register a Twilio account, and configure their environment. They also need to update their Firebase config information, deploy the functions to Firebase, and integrate the front-end code with the backend services. The process involves two main API calls: one to send the verification code to the user and another to check the verification code provided by the user. By following these steps, developers can add an extra layer of security to their application and ensure that only authorized users have access to it.
