One-Time Password (OTP)

A one-time password (OTP) is a password that is valid for only one login session or transaction, providing an additional layer of security compared to traditional static passwords. It is more secure than a static password, especially a user-created password, which can be weak and reused across multiple accounts. OTPs may replace authentication login information or may be used in addition to it to add another layer of security. OTPs can be implemented using hardware, software, or on demand, and they are often used in two-factor authentication systems. The term "OTP" can also refer to "one true pair/pairing" in the context of fandom culture, signifying a persons favorite fictional romantic relationship.
