# Integrate with Twilio

> Connect Twilio to use the One-Time-Password SMS Verification or send text messages to the user.

Start integrating by generating your Twilio API key.

## Create your Twilio API key

To authenticate, you can either use your Account SID and Auth Token or you can create a dedicated API Key for managing access.

* To create a dedicated API Key, go to **Twilio > Account > API keys & tokens**.

* To find your Account SID and Auth Token, open your Twilio portal. You can find the details in your dashboard in the **Account Info** section. The details need to be base64-encrypted.

To encrypt the data, you can use a tool like [https://base64encode.org](https://base64encode.org). Encode the details in the following format to generate the API key: `Account SID: Auth Token`.
