Validate a passcode

Validate a passcode that a recipient submitted. Validation succeeds when the passcode matches, the validity period has not elapsed, and the maximum number of attempts has not been exceeded. If you set a reference identifier on the send request, supply the same value here so validation matches only codes sent with that identifier. The result is VALID or INVALID.

AWS Management Console

To validate a passcode using the console

1. Open the AWS End User Messaging console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/sms-voice/.

2. In the navigation pane, under Notify, choose Testing, then choose the Validate code tab.

3. Enter the Destination phone number that received the code and the Verification code. (Optional) Enter the Reference ID used on the send request.

4. Choose Validate code.

AWS CLI

To validate a passcode using the AWS CLI

1. At the command line, enter the following command:

   $ aws endusermessaging validate-notify-code-verification \
   > --destination-identity [phone] \
   > --code 483921 \
   > --reference-id signup-flow-1

   In the preceding command, make the following changes:

   • Replace [phone] with the recipient that received the code.

   • Replace 483921 with the passcode the recipient submitted.

   • Set --reference-id to the same value used on the send request, if any.

   The response status is VALID or INVALID.

2. The response resembles the following:

   {
       "status": "VALID"
   }
