One-Time Password (OTP) is a unique, temporary code used to verify your identity when logging in or completing a secure transaction.
Here’s a simple breakdown:
- How it works: The OTP is sent to you, often via text, email, or an app, and can only be used once.
- Extra security: It adds an extra layer of protection, even if someone knows your password.
- Why it’s temporary: The OTP expires after a short time to prevent misuse.
Think of an OTP like a single-use key—valid only for one moment to ensure secure access.
