2FA Configuration

Before using the 2FA service it is necessary to configure the properties and templates for your use case.
Configuration, such as the number of allowed PIN attempts and PIN time to live are configured by creating an Application.
The message text that will accompany the PIN and the properties, such as PIN length, are configured by creating either a message template, for SMS and Voice delivery, or an Email message template Learn more about how to create an Email template and link it to 2FA API.

The expected use is to create an Application and apply one or more Message Templates to that Application for a specific authentication scenario. You can create multiple Applications and Message Templates if you have many authentication scenarios, but Application and Message Template creation will be a one-off, infrequent operation.
