Description
MC: Authentication via OTP and Passkey
Secure login. No passwords. One-touch access.
MC: Authentication via OTP and Passkey is the first and only module for CS-Cart that enables users to log in using biometrics (Face ID, Touch ID, Windows Hello) and one-time passwords (OTP) via SMS or email.
Why is this module a must-have for your store?
- The first biometric authentication for CS-Cart – login via Passkey (Face ID, fingerprint).
- Automatic OTP code insertion – the code from SMS/email is automatically inserted, making login faster.
- Flexible email notifications – works with CS-Cart's standard notification system, allowing full customization.
Important: The module does not send SMS messages by itself but integrates with popular SMS gateways for CS-Cart. It generates the code, while a third-party module handles the delivery.
- No more forgotten passwords for customers!
- Fast and seamless authentication = higher conversion rates!

Available Login Methods
This setting defines which authentication options are available for customers:
✅Phone – the user can log in using a phone number.
✅E-mail – the user can log in using an email address.
To activate a specific login method, check the corresponding option.
Require OTP Field Verification
When this setting is enabled, customers must go through additional verification using a one-time password (OTP) during login. Available verification methods:
✅Phone – an SMS with a code is sent for verification.
✅E-mail – a verification code is sent to the email address.
Important! To send codes via SMS, integration with an SMS gateway is required (the module does not send SMS by itself).
Login Priority
This setting determines the primary authentication method for OTP if both phone and email are enabled.
✅E-mail – by default, email login is selected.
✅Phone – the priority can be changed to phone.
Users will first authenticate using the selected method if multiple options are available.
Phone Field
This setting determines which field is used for login, authentication, and registration via phone number.
✅Phone – the standard phone field in the login form.
This ensures proper handling of phone numbers in the system.
