What is a One Time Password (OTP)?

One Time Passwords (OTP)​ are a form of two-factor authentication (2FA) that are generated as a string of characters or numbers. OTPs are sent to a user's mobile device via SMS or Voice which is then used to verify the user's identity in order to protect online applications and data.
