Short answer

How can I automate user identity verification with my AI?

Your AI uses Vonage to send 2FA codes and verify the digits a user provides. This allows your agent to manage the security handshake directly within your chat flow. You get a hands-off way to confirm user identities.

Security outcomes

Verification results

What happens when your AI handles a verification request.

SECURE

Verified user access

The AI confirms the OTP code is correct. You get a clear pass or fail for the login attempt.

AUTOMATED

Hands-off 2FA

Your agent triggers the SMS or voice request. The user receives the code without you touching a dashboard.

CONTROLLED

Request management

You can stop a pending verification if something looks wrong. Your AI handles the cancellation immediately.

HUMAN

Manual intervention

If a user fails too many times, the AI stops. You step in to handle the account lockout or manual review.

The workflow

What your AI does when a verification is needed.

The AI takes over the communication and validation steps.

  1. Initiate the request

    Your agent tells Vonage to send a verification code to a specific phone number.

    start_verification

  2. Validate the code

    Once the user provides the digits, the AI checks them against the active request.

    check_verification_code

  3. Stop the process

    If the user cancels or the session expires, the AI kills the pending request.

    cancel_verification_request

  4. Confirm identity

    The AI uses the result of the check to decide if the user is cleared to proceed.

    check_verification_code
