Protect Your Digital Engagement

A One Time Password or OTP is a security code designed to be used for a single login attempt, to minimize the risk of fraudulent login attempts and maintain high security. It’s a string of characters or numbers automatically generated and sent to the user’s phone via SMS, Voice, or Push message.

The OTP has become the standard method worldwide of enabling a login when special circumstances apply, such as validating a new account or confirming a transaction is legitimate.

An OTP is generated automatically as a semi-random number or string of characters. There is no way to predict what the OTP will be ahead of time. OTPs are valid for a single login session or transaction, enhancing security by reducing the risk of unauthorized access even if the password is intercepted. Once used, the OTP expires, ensuring it cannot be reused for future logins or transactions.

Number Verify, also known as Silent Number Verification, is a verification method that leverages the SIM card to verify a user. It's a background process that validates phone numbers via mobile operator data - the user only has to enter a phone number. It's considered a faster and more secure verification procedure than traditional authentication methods.

There are several ways to verify and authenticate online users. Sending One Time Passwords is currently one of the most used methods in Two-Factor Authentication, and these OTPs can be send via a myriad of different channels, such as email, SMS, or WhatsApp. But there are also newer verification methods on the market, like Number Verify or Identity Match that utilize SIM card data to verify users. What verification channels work best depends on business use cases and target audiences.
