Validate OTP code - AWS End User Messaging

Validate OTP code

Note

Validation is available only when AWS End User Messaging generates the code. If you generate the passcode yourself and send it with SendNotifyTextMessage or SendNotifyVoiceMessage, you validate it in your own application – there is no validate API call for that path.

When AWS End User Messaging generates the code with SendNotifyCodeVerification, confirm the code the recipient entered with the ValidateNotifyCodeVerification operation in the endusermessaging namespace. Use the same --reference-id you sent with, so the service matches the validation to the original send.

Console
To validate a test passcode

  1. On the Send a test verification page, choose the Validate code tab.

  2. Enter the destination phone number and the code the recipient received, and choose validate to confirm the result.

AWS CLI

Validate the code with the validate-notify-code-verification command.

$ aws endusermessaging validate-notify-code-verification \
> --destination-identity +15550123456 \
> --code 483921 \
> --reference-id signup-flow-1

The response status is VALID or INVALID.

For the full console procedure and parameters, see Validate a passcode.
