Authentication
Ulsav supports a wide range of secure and fast authentication mechanisms.
Passwordless System
Section titled “Passwordless System”Instead of relying on traditional password-based authentication systems, Ulsav uses passwordless authentication systems. Hence, users do not need to remember or manually enter a password to sign up or login to Ulsav.
By removing passwords – which are often weak, reused across services, or susceptible to phishing attacks – passwordless authentication reduces the risk of account breaches and identity theft.
Dual Identities - Email & Phone Number
Section titled “Dual Identities - Email & Phone Number”Ulsav supports both Email Address and Phone Number as user identities, and an account can have an email address and phone number attached to it.
Organizations can require both of these identities or set one of them required and the other optional.
Phone Number Identity
Section titled “Phone Number Identity”WhatsApp OTP Login
Section titled “WhatsApp OTP Login”Users can register and log into their Ulsav account through their WhatsApp by entering an OTP sent to their WhatsApp number. This is the default, and most preferred method of authentication on Ulsav, as it is fast,
SMS OTP Login
Section titled “SMS OTP Login”Users can register and log into their Ulsav account through their entering SMS OTP sent to their phone numbers. It is usually suggested to use WhatsApp to login via phone number, however, using SMS OTP can be a handy option if the phone number is not registered with WhatsApp.
Email Identity
Section titled “Email Identity”Email OTP Login

For portals, the user will be redirected into the global Ulsav portal for authentication and redirected back when the user chooses to login/register via Social Login.
When logged-in with their social account, the email of the user will be auto-verified. If the user already had an account on the portal / Ulsav with the same email, the accounts will be merged.
SSO Login
Section titled “SSO Login”For Portals, organizations can setup their SSO provider as an authentication mechanism. This will allow organizations to restrict participants, verify participants, as well as provide special discounts to them.
