The Registration & Login with Mobile Phone Number extension is a popular tool on the official WooCommerce Marketplace designed to simplify the customer journey by replacing or supplementing traditional email/password logins with mobile-based OTP (One-Time Password) verification.

This extension addresses a common e-commerce friction point: forgotten passwords. By using a mobile number, users can access their accounts quickly, which often leads to higher conversion rates.
OTP-Based Login: Users enter their mobile number and receive a code via SMS to log in instantly.
Mobile Registration: New customers can sign up using just their phone number. You can configure it to still require an email address or make it entirely mobile-focused.
Account Linking: Existing users with traditional accounts can link their mobile numbers to enable phone-based login for future visits.
Force Authentication: You can require users to log in or register via their mobile number before they can proceed to the checkout page.
The plugin is built to be flexible for different global markets and security needs:
SMS Gateways: It integrates with major services like Twilio, MSG91, and Firebase (which offers a generous free tier for OTPs).
Country Restrictions: You can limit mobile registration to specific countries or prioritize certain country codes in the dropdown.
Customizable UI: You can adjust the colors, text, and styling of the login buttons and popups to match your brand’s aesthetic.
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): It serves as an extra layer of security, ensuring that the person logging in has physical access to the registered device.
