What is an SMS OTP?
An SMS OTP (one-time password) is a secure authorization method where a numeric or alphanumeric code is sent to a mobile number. This password is an added layer of security used to verify the identity of a user logging into an online platform, application or website.
Commonly used by banks, insurance companies and online retailers, one-time passwords help ensure the security of your customers valuable data and information.

Why implement SMS OTP?
When someone shares their personal and sensitive information with your business, they expect you to protect this data from possible hackers.
Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security to the login procedure, drastically improving the security of a website, application or software. Even if email and password information is accessed, online data will remain protected by the SMS OTP.
