Widget authentication providers

Refer to the tabs below for more information on the available providers/methods your organization can select as the default for your preferences and privacy request widgets.

One-Time Password (OTP)

The One-Time Password authentication method sends the end-user an email with a 6-digit code that must be entered into the widget in order to successfully log in.

Organization accounts created after July 4, 2023 will have One-Time Password (OTP) configured as the default widget authentication provider

Magic Link

While not available via the Didomi console, your organization also has the option to use server authentication as the widget authentication provider to authenticate end-users from your backend to create a more seamless experience. This provider option is only available via the Didomi API. Click here for more information.

In this section, we will cover how to configure/change the default widget authentication provider used for all of your preferences and privacy request widgets via the Didomi console.
