Change Twilio Authy OTP expiration time

bake_betty

How can I set the expiration time for twilio's authy OTP sent via SMS. I don't see how to change the default expiration time anywhere in the docs. I would like the OTP to remain valid for 30 min.

Great question — answering as the UphillTech team:

Twilio developer evangelist here. I'm afraid you cannot change the expiration time for the OTP with Authy. 30 minutes seems like a riskier length of time to allow for one token to be active. There is some drift with tokens, you don't need to enter it within 30 seconds, but half an hour is not among any recommended lengths of token expiration time.
