# ADR 0003: Authentica As Primary OTP Provider
## Status
Accepted
## Context
The platform requires phone-first authentication with OTP delivery for KSA. The codebase includes multiple provider adapters (`console`, `twilio`, `unifonic`, `authentica`) but only Authentica is implemented for provider-managed OTP delivery (send/verify) and direct SMS messaging. Twilio and Unifonic adapters are partial or unimplemented; a console provider exists for local development.
## Decision
Use Authentica as the primary OTP provider for the MVP, with `OTP_PROVIDER=authentica` in production environments. Keep `console` for local development and tests, and retain Twilio/Unifonic adapters as scaffolds for future expansion.
## Consequences
- OTP verification relies on Authentica APIs and credentials in production.
- Local development remains simple with the console provider.
- Adding a second production provider will require completing adapters and updating operational runbooks.
## Alternatives Considered
- Twilio as primary provider: not selected due to KSA-focused delivery needs and current adapter gaps.
- Unifonic as primary provider: deferred until the adapter is fully implemented and validated.
