One Time Password

Send, protect, validate - with OTP via SMS

What is SMS OTP?

An SMS OTP (one-time password) is a secure authorisation method where a numeric or alphanumeric code is sent to a mobile number. This password is an added layer of security used to verify a user’s identity when logging in online or confirming an action.
