The Send Verification Code action is used to send a verification code to a user via SMS, email, or other methods for the purpose of verifying the user's identity; it is a fundamental component of security processes such as two-factor authentication (2FA) and password reset. When sending a verification code via SMS, the user's phone number registered in the system is retrieved, and a one-time verification code is sent to that number, typically through an external SMS service provider. This code is valid for a specific period and must be entered by the user to log in, reset their password, or perform a critical action. During SMS delivery, the system verifies the accuracy of the user's phone number and, if necessary, error management mechanisms are activated.
