One-Time Passwords
A one-time password (OTP) is an auto-generated numeric or alphanumeric string that authenticates a user for a single transaction or login session.
OTPs improve the user experience by allowing users to login without a password. They also act well as a second authentication layer for unverified users to pass before accessing an account.
Here at ReachFive, we offer two ways to implement OTPs:
