The world still uses SMS OTP, but no one trusts it anymore.

SMS+ fixes its weaknesses while keeping the same login experience.

How it works

  • Your system sends the usual SMS, but with a secure link instead of a naked code.
  • The user types 2 words. If the typing pattern matches, the OTP is revealed.
  • The user enters the OTP as usual. Same flow, stronger assurance.

What you get

  • Lower fraud from SIM swap, device theft, and more.
  • Familiar UX, no app to install.
  • IAM-friendly integration, full pilot in days.

Who needs it

  • Banks & fintechs: Still rely massively on SMS but vulnerable.
  • IAM platforms: Need stronger second factors without changing user flows.
  • Enterprises: Need secure fallback MFA without requiring apps on personal phones.

Why use SMS+

  • Market demand - SMS OTP is still #1 authentication factor.
  • SMS OTP is vulnerable to SIM swap, phone theft, MITM, etc.
  • Works on any smartphone, in browser, no apps required.
  • If deep-integrated, no extra steps vs. standard SMS OTP.
  • Compliance with PCI DSS 4.0, NIST SP 800-63B 4 (SMS OTP is restricted unless risk-mitigated), and other identity guidelines asking for plain SMS OTP to be avoided or properly secured.

Performance

  • Accurate on mobile with as few as 2 words, thanks to TypingDNA’s patented technology, using typing biometrics and motion sensor data.
