What is the difference between Send OTP and Send OTP 2.0?


The following are the listed difference between Send OTP and Send OTP 2.0


Send OTP                                                                                                                


1. Send OTP is a ‘One-Time Password’ (generating, delivering, and verifying)mechanism. Copy-pasting a couple of codes allows you to integrate the 2-factor authentication facility.


2. Reliance on the device- The risk of insecure devices and applications stealing OTP SMS is quite measurable as the verification involves OTP SMS


3. No OTP Free Login and Verification: Users will get OTP on their devices to verify their Mobile numbers.


4. Waiting time- It takes 8 sec (approx) to deliver the message and if SMS is not delivered a backup voice call will be initiated. (no additional cost).


5. Chances of drop Outs- In case, the OTP SMS gets deleted from the device, then chances are there for the OTP to drop out.




Send OTP 2.0


1. Send OTP 2.0 is an invisible one-time password securing and simplifying phone number verification. Do not require copy-pasting a couple of codes to integrate the 2- factor authentication facility.


2. Non-reliance on the device- The risk of insecure devices and applications stealing OTP SMS is less as verification does not involve OTP SMS


3. OTP Free Login and Verification: Users will not get OTP on their devices to verify their Mobile Number


4. Waiting Time- It takes 6 sec (approx) to deliver the message if SMS is not delivered a backup voice call will be initiated. (no additional cost).


5. Reduce Drop Outs: No OTP SMS will be sent, hence reducing friction and dropouts.
