Send OTP via SMS, a 2 Factor Authentication Services for Security
OTP verification combines a user login—including a Password—with physical access to a smartphone or landline telephone to verify authorized access to an Account. A user can begin to log into a secured service by entering an ID and password, but then must receive a one-time code (OTC) or one-time password (OTP) via SMS texting or a voice telephone call using a phone number associated with the account. Entering this additional one-time credential constitutes the second step of verification or the second factor of authentication, with the idea that only someone who knows the correct account password and who physically possesses the required object (Mobile Phone and the associated Phone Number) can gain access to the account.
