makes the user exit app and depends upon external applications.OTP/email verification is an option but is a multi-step process.

Automating any of this task like automatically read one-time-password retrieval from device makes the implementation layer more complex and add more permissions confusing user why all those apps require all such permission and dependencies, recently changed google policy stopping user to take access to user’s call logs and messages putting end for malicious developer who scrapes all the private messages in name of automating SMS reading. Most Boring and tedaous way to validate a user is by email or phone, where the user enters an email/phone number in the application then receives a one-time-password/email, for which they exit the app, click some random link in it which directs them back to app breaking user flow and immersion of the application.
