Before you start
If you use Passwordless SMS authentication, MFA SMS and voice notifications, or Phone as ID, you need to configure a phone provider with the Unified Phone Experience.If you need different providers for MFA, Passwordless, and/or Phone as ID, you must configure a custom phone provider using Auth0 Actions.
Auth0 does not provide feedback to the end user on whether a phone message has been sent successfully with the tenant-level provider. To troubleshoot issues, review the tenant logs.
