Description

The Twilio addon adds an SMS verification step to Pie Register, generating a unique PIN sent via Twilio that the user must confirm to complete registration or login. Designed for those who maintain communities and portals with open registration, the module includes a mobile field in the registration form, configurable PIN validity in minutes, and SMS alerts to the admin for each new registration received on the site.

Key Features of Twilio

  • Two-step SMS verification
    Send a unique PIN via Twilio to the user’s mobile during registration or login.
  • Mobile field in the registration form
    Add a specific field in Pie Register’s registration to collect the user’s number.
  • Configurable PIN validity
    Define the expiration time of the code in minutes before requiring a new send.
  • SMS alerts for the admin
    Trigger a message to the admin’s number whenever a new user registers on the site.
  • Direct connection to the Twilio account
    Integrate Twilio credentials into Pie Register’s panel for routing and SMS sending billing.

Benefits of Twilio

  • More reliable registrations
    Validating the mobile before account release reduces bots, duplicate accounts, and false data.
  • Additional login security layer
    The second factor prevents account access even if the password has leaked.
  • Real-time monitoring
    The admin monitors each new registration via SMS without relying on the email inbox.
  • Quick implementation in Pie Register
    Leverages the plugin’s native flow without needing custom hooks or theme editing.

Who is Twilio Recommended For?

  • Those who operate communities, forums, and member platforms with open registration and want to filter fake accounts before release.
  • Sites with restricted areas, paid content, or corporate environments that require mobile identity confirmation at login.
  • Those who already use Pie Register and need instant SMS notifications for each new registration on the site.

How to Download Twilio

Twilio is available for download here on Ultrapack. After downloading the .zip file, install it in Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, select the file and activate. With Pie Register already installed, Twilio options appear in the plugin settings to connect the account and set the PIN duration.

The Twilio integration is particularly useful for communities, member platforms, and restricted content portals, where validating the user’s mobile reduces spam, fake accounts, and identity failures at access. By incorporating the second factor directly into the native Pie Register flow, the module avoids theme customizations or manual hooks and keeps control of who accesses the site centralized in the WordPress dashboard.
