What is CallPassword ID and how does it work?

[Cloned Boy]

CallPassword ID is a new verification method where the user initiates a call to a number generated by an algorithm. The system checks the number, providing fast, convenient and secure authorization. It seems that this method is no different from Flash Call. But this is not so. Firstly, the mobile operator cannot block authorization by CallPassword ID. Secondly, the client initiates the call himself, and does not receive it from the PBX.

CallPassword ID technology has been around for years and was primarily used to access public Wi-Fi. But it wasn't particularly popular with large companies and retailers because the user had to dial the number themselves. Plus, it seemed unsafe because it was possible to use someone else's number to access another person's account. But today, these problems are being solved with smartphones - they can make calls themselves, and the numbers are checked by the largest telecom operators.

How CallPassword ID Works​

First, the client enters his phone number in the application or on the website. Then the system generates a virtual number, which is displayed to the user. And the client must initiate a call to the generated number.

After the client's actions, the system records the caller's number and compares it with the one entered earlier. If the number matches, authorization is considered successful.

You can connect CallPassword ID via API to any authorization system - it takes only 1-2 days. See the step-by-step instructions on how to do this.

Step 1: Choose an implementation​

Go to the GitHub repository and find a suitable implementation for your frontend and backend.

Step 2: Register on the New Tel website​

Register on the official website of New Tel to get access to the API key.

Step 3: Obtaining an API Key​

After registration, you will receive a unique API key. Save it for future integration.

Step 4: Integrate API Key​

Embed the received API key in the appropriate file of your system. For example, if you are using PHP, insert the key in the call-verification.php file. For Golang, use the main.go file.

Step 5: Check functionality​

After integrating the API key, make sure that the CallPassword ID system works correctly on your website or application.

What are the advantages of CallPassword ID for business?​

CallPassword ID stands out from other authentication methods due to its unique combination of simplicity, security and cost-effectiveness. This system provides a fast and reliable way to verify users, minimizing possible risks and providing a high level of convenience for end users. New verification method:

• does not require much effort for implementation;
• has protection from SMSBomber/CallBomber;
• costs less than SMS or MobilID.

We have compiled a comparison table of all possible verifications.

Characteristic​	CallPassword ID​	SMS verification​	Flash Call​	Voice Call​	Verification via Email​	Verification via Messengers​
Verification speed​	Tall​	Average​	Tall​	Average​	Low​	Average​
Price​	Low​	Tall​	Low​	Tall​	Low​	Variable​
Security level​	High​	High​	High​	High​	Average​	Average​
User friendliness​	High​	High​	Average​	Average​	Average​	High​
Scalability​	Yes​	Yes​	Yes​	Yes​	Yes​	Depends on the platform​

As you can see from the table, CallPassword ID looks much better than other verification methods in terms of its overall characteristics — its speed, security and convenience are at the highest level, and the cost of one verification using CallPassword ID is pennies. Connection is free and takes up to two days. For comparison, the cost of sending one SMS code varies depending on the operator and costs from 1.5 to 3 rubles, and sending SMS to international numbers is about 9 rubles. With large authorization volumes, CallPassword ID will save up to 90% compared to SMS.

conclusions​

Currently, large companies are reconsidering their attitude to verification methods and increasingly choosing CallPassword ID as an alternative to SMS and Flash Call.

CallPassword ID turned out to be not only cheaper, but also safer than other methods of customer verification, as it minimizes the risk of sending unwanted messages and fraud. Calling the right number from a customer's phone in seconds is more difficult than intercepting an incoming call. In addition, CallPassword ID works 100% of the time, unlike Flash Call, when the call may not get through the first time.

CallPassword ID technology has 6 advantages:

1. Fast authorization – the user authorization process is fast and without problems with code delivery.

2. Security – since the user dials the number themselves, the risk of fraud is reduced.

3. Low cost – the cost of authorization using CallPassword ID is significantly lower than SMS verification and other methods. Charging only for successful verifications further reduces costs.

4. Scalability – Suitable for businesses of all sizes, from small to large, due to the ease of scaling the system.

5. Easy to connect and integrate — you can connect CallPassword ID to any frontend and backend of the site. Using API access makes authorization through the service easy and fast.

6. Versatility – suitable for various industries and fields of activity, from retail to public WiFi networks.
