View Of  Site In Live Mode:

• Uncheck the box for Live Mode.
• Fill in the credentials (Twilio Phone Number, Account Sid, Auth Token) provided by “Twilio” as shown in the snapshot below.
• Check the box to enable OTP during Registration & Sign In.
• Check the box to enable Login via phone number and email. (If you enable login via OTP then make sure that the Contact Number field in the profile fields is Mandatory.)

Note: If we make the Contact number field mandatory then this will become the Unique field. So, if there are already some registered users with the same number but different mail IDs, then only the account which gets verified first will only be available for the user.

For the other account with the same number, it will throw a warning to the already registered user.
