Turn Fortinet email-based 2FA into instant SMS — no costly modules

Replace internal-only email delivery with direct SMS. Fortinet sends the 2FA code to 0712345678@email2sms.ro and we deliver it instantly to 0712345678 via SMS.

Instant: Typical delivery under 3s
Compatible: Works with Fortinet email 2FA
Simple: Phone-as-email alias

No need for Outlook/Webmail access. No VPN pre-login email dependency.

Why Email2SMS

Avoid internal email-only policies blocking your login. Keep Fortinet’s email 2FA and deliver codes via SMS to the user’s phone number.

Instant SMS delivery

We translate the email into an SMS in seconds, so users authenticate without opening Outlook, Thunderbird, or webmail.

No expensive modules

Skip SMS add-ons or hardware tokens. Use your existing Fortinet email 2FA and our phone-as-email alias.

Simple addressing

Send to 0712345678@email2sms.ro and the code lands on 0712345678 via SMS. Consistent, human-readable, and auditable.

Secure & auditable

Isolated inbound mailboxes per phone, delivery logs, and configurable expiry rules to align with your security policy.

Works anywhere

Users can receive codes off-network and on mobile, removing the dependency on internal-only email access.

Admin-friendly setup

Drop-in change: update the Fortinet email recipient to the alias. No client software, no user training overhead.

How it works

Your VPN still sends codes via email, but we deliver them over SMS to the right device — instantly.

1. Assign alias

Each user gets an email alias matching their phone number: 07XXXXXXXX@email2sms.ro

2. Configure Fortinet

Set Fortinet to send 2FA codes to that alias. No module changes, no token provisioning.

3. Convert to SMS

Our gateway receives the email and transforms the 2FA content into an SMS payload.

4. Deliver instantly

SMS reaches the user’s phone in seconds. They enter the code and proceed.
