Hello,

I want to start using the two-step authentication and would like to know all I need to use the authentication_sms module.

I assume that some other tool is required to specifically send the sms, but I do not know exactly what is that requirement.

Could someone give me an advice?

Thanks in advanced,
Eduardo

You’re correct. authentication_sms is only to standardize the backend fields.
You need to use another tool like Twilio to send.

Thanks Adriá,

Does someone know a free alternative to Twilio?

I got it working by setting up the URL prefix and access correctly in the SMS provider’s settings and making sure the user had a mobile number defined in their preferences.

I got mine working by adding a gateway for sms.to under the SMS Gateway config, using their API URL and header with the token. Then I set that gateway on the user record. You also need to make sure the phone number is in international format, like +44 for UK. Once that was set up, the test sending from the user form worked fine.
