The problem it solves

When customers sign up or log in, you need a reliable way to confirm they are who they say they are. Juggling different verification methods for WhatsApp, Telegram, and email users by hand creates gaps that put your accounts at risk.

Who it fits

Businesses onboarding or verifying customers across multiple messaging channels.

How it works

  1. Receives a user's identity request from WhatsApp, Telegram, or email
  2. Generates a one-time passcode and stores it securely
  3. Sends the code back to the user on the same channel
  4. Checks the code the user enters against the stored record
  5. Confirms or rejects the verification
What you get

Accounts that stay protected from impostors

Customers get a quick, secure one-time code on whichever channel they prefer, confirming their identity before they move forward with you.

What you get

A verified user identity, with a secure pass or fail result ready for your onboarding flow.

What you need

A Postgres or Supabase database and accounts on the messaging channels you use.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
