Abstract
One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for verifying a user of a service are provided. That is, the service (e.g., a social network, an email service, a website, etc.) may attempt to verify that a user is an owner of an account with the service by sending a verification code to a device registered by the user with the service, such as through a text message. Because the service may be hosted across multiple data centers for resiliency against failure, the verification code and a verification attempt counter may be stored within a particular data store. An identification of the data store may be encoded into the verification code. In this way, the verification code may be sent to the device, such that when the user submits the verification code back to the service, the verification code is routed to the correct data store for verification.
