Otp-Verification Blog
Otp-Verification Blog: This add-on allows the user to login with the help of OTP-Verification and if the user forget the password or forget the email then user can login with the OTP.
The OTP Verification add-on lets customers, admins, and vendors log in and verify their identity using a one-time password (OTP) instead of relying only on a password and email. It solves the problem of locked-out users by giving an alternative way to sign in when a password or email is forgotten, and it adds a security layer by requiring OTP verification at checkout when a phone number has not been verified. Store owners can control OTP length, expiry time, and the number of allowed attempts, and can extend verification to guest checkout and profile edits. It is built for CS-Cart and Multi-Vendor stores that want stronger, phone-based account security.
This addon makes it easy for users to log in using OTP verification. If someone forgets their password or email, they can still log in with an OTP. Users can set how long an OTP is valid and how many attempts are allowed. The addon adds security by asking for OTP verification at checkout if the phone number is not verified. Admins and vendors can also use OTP verification for their accounts. The addon makes managing and securing accounts simple and effective.
OTP verification works on Mozilla Firefox, Safari, and Chrome browsers, as well as on mobile devices, laptops, and tablets.
NOTE: We provide only two SMS providers, Twilio and One Way SMS.
