Enable On-demand Authentication by Both SMS and E-mail

You can send on-demand tokencodes with both SMS text messages and e-mail, instead of allowing only one method per user.

After you enable this feature, you can select an Add Delivery by E-mail checkbox on the SMS Configuration tab. When you use the Security Console to select the delivery method for a user, you can choose SMS to send both a text message and an e-mail. You can locate users with the Authentication > On-Demand Authentication > Enable Users menu or in the User Dashboard.

Users who request on-demand tokencodes in the Self-Service Console can select from the methods you configure (SMS text message or e-mail). After you select the Add Delivery by E-mail checkbox, users who select SMS receive an SMS text message and an e-mail.
