3 free otp & verification templates for WhatsApp
Authentication templates send one-time passcodes. Meta uses a fixed, standard wording for them — you mainly supply the code and choose options such as a copy-code button and expiry note.

OTP & verification templates
Highlighted words are variables — they're filled in for each customer when you send.
Login code
Authentication{{code}} is your verification code. For your security, do not share this code.
Tip: Meta's standard authentication wording starts with the code — this is the one case where the format is set by Meta.
Code with expiry
Authentication{{code}} is your verification code. For your security, do not share this code. This code expires in 10 minutes.
Sign-up verification
Authentication{{code}} is your verification code. For your security, do not share this code.
Tip: Use the same authentication template for sign-up, login and password reset; your app decides when to send it.
