Case Study: MongoDB achieves enhanced user data privacy and rapid SMS two-factor authentication deployment with Twilio

Mongodb Increases User Data Privacy with Twilio

MongoDB, a leading NoSQL database provider, expanded its MongoDB Management Service (MMS) to include pay-as-you-go backup and restore. Because these operations could expose mission-critical user data, the team needed a simple, reliable two‑factor authentication solution to ensure only authorized users could perform restores or backups.

MongoDB integrated Twilio’s SMS API to deliver one-time numeric codes to users’ phones and implemented two‑factor authentication in just one week. The integration was easy to build into their Java-based system, sped the product launch, and now runs reliably without human intervention, giving MongoDB and its customers stronger data protection and peace of mind.
