OTP Verification Web Application
This is a simple web application built with Flask and Twilio for sending and verifying OTPs (One-Time Passwords). Users can request an OTP, receive it via SMS, and then verify it.
Prerequisites
Before running the application, ensure you have the following dependencies installed:
- Python
- Flask
- Twilio
- Flask-Session
You can install these packages using pip:
pip install Flask twilio Flask-Session
Configuration
Make sure to configure the following variables in the code:
-
app.config['SECRET_KEY']: Set a secret key for session management.
-
ACCOUNT_SID: Your Twilio account SID.
-
AUTH_TOKEN: Your Twilio authentication token.
-
TWILIO_PHONE_NUMBER: The Twilio phone number from which OTPs will be sent.
Usage

app.py
-
Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:5000 to access the application.
-
Enter your information (name, prn, email, branch, and phone number) and click the "Get OTP" button.
-
An OTP will be sent to the provided phone number via SMS. Enter the OTP in the "Verification Code" field and click "Verify OTP."

If the OTP is valid and hasn't expired, the user data will be printed to the console. You can customize this part to process or store the user data as needed.
