Automatic Phone Verification with Voice Recording by OnVerify.com

Posted on by

OnVerify.com announces a new feature in phone verification system. This feature helps you to do Reverse Phone Verification and also Record customer voice.

Chargebacks in online world are very common, this happens due to either customer forgets the charge or cannot recognize a charge in bill of statement of the credit card. In case of a chargeback banks usually ask a proof of purchase. Standard proofs may mean nothing to the bank, and they usually accept the chargeback.

OnVerify.com has got a solution to that problem: You may now record (only a specific sentence) of the customer, that’s to be used as a proof later on.

With the Reverse Phone Verification with Voice Recording, you shot two birds at the same time; you do two factor phone authentication and also get a real voice stamp of the customer.

We believe this feature will help online merchants by several ways.

Voice Recording as got two versions at OnVerify.com; either you can directly record the voice or record the voice after a right pin entrance.

If this is first time reading about OnVerify.com, I strongly suggest visit our other blog entries and also visit www.onverify.com to get more information and free of charge account.

Can Call In Phone Verification be an Alternative to SMS/Phone Verification?

Posted on by

Dear Friends,

Nowadays I am thinking of form of “real contact” verification methods. By “real contact”, I mean phoning, text messaging, forcing customer to act for a phone call or sms, rather than getting a reply to e-mail.

E-mail confirmation and verification is good indeed, but just for validating your further communication channel; not for validating and verifying that you are contacting with a “real” person.

Phone Verification (automatically) calls given number, plays prerecorded script. In the script there is a need to announce a password or pin to access a secure page or complete a transaction. Costs to merchant, your customer pays nothing.

Reverse Phone Verification is a step to make Phone Verification a little more complex; it’s again an automatic call, but password or pin is not announced, rather is gotten on the phone. Your customer need to enter “pin” or “password” on the phone. A callback is fired to your web site. Again costs to the you, your customer does not pay anything.

SMS Verification, is another method of delivery of the pin/password to your end user. You send out an SMS (Text message) to your customer. Well, your customer need to provide some personal mobile number. Usually merhants pays all, but in some cases, customer may be billed by his operator. Delivery may be delayed due to operator, mobile phone coverage, and some other issues. But it’s worldwide, and really cost effective.

In Call In Phone Verification, your customer need to call a local/domestic/toll-free number  from the registered phone (number). Your customer either gets a “pin” or “password”, or enters the pin. This will cost to the business, and may also cost to the end user.  This method lowers your automatic verification costs. Providing a local phone number, you limit your customer base to be local in a way. The advantage over the SMS Verification is that your customer does not have to provide his mobile number, he may register and call from any phone number.

There are several ways to automatically verify your customers using phone calls or sms. I tried to summarize them, and I think “Call in Phone Verification” is really a good alternative to “SMS Verification” by means of cost, easy of use.

How to add two factor authentication to your web site using phone verification by onverify.com

Posted on by

Securing a web business has never been hard as now. As a web business owner or developer, you may have added several mechanisms to combat hacker from stealing passwords. To access a membership site, you probably implemented username and password checking together with several anti-hacker solutions, like checking last ip, checking logs for suspicious activity, etc. But still passwords, shared computers, passwords in e-mail are your weakest part in overall security.

I want to show how you can add more security to your web site, as a general algorithm. In my example, I will point to phone verification, but it’s also possible to do it with reverse phone verification or sms verification.

Your current flow is possibly as this way, providing you a one point to check the user

  1. Display login form
  2. Get username and password
  3. Check username and password from database
  4. If matches, give access

I do not suggest you to change this flow, it will be same. But I will suggest you to add another step, to get a two factor authentication with otp (One Time Password) tokens, tokens to be announced on the phone:

  1. Display login form
  2. Get username and password
  3. Check username and password from database
  4. If matches, start a phone verification to the number on file
  5. Ask for the “token”/”pin” that’s announced on the phone
  6. Check entered pin
  7. If matches, let the user access

With this method, you’ll have a real two factor authentication and a second password token that is generated on the fly; cannot be stolen by a third party.
