Check OTP

Function: Check OTP​

This function allows you to initiate a process to verify a One-Time Password (OTP). It sends the provided OTP to the system for validation, typically used in scenarios like two-factor authentication or secure transactions.

Input​

  • One time password
    • Description: The unique numerical code that needs to be verified.
    • Type: NUMBER
    • Required: Yes

Output​

This function does not directly return any data. Its purpose is to trigger a front-end process that handles the actual OTP validation and subsequent actions (e.g., granting access, showing an error).

Execution Flow​

Real-Life Examples​

Here are some examples of how you might use the "Check OTP" function:

  1. Logging in with Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

    • Inputs:
      • One time password: 123456
    • Result: The system initiates a check to verify if 123456 is the correct OTP for the user attempting to log in. If valid, the user proceeds to their account; otherwise, an error message is displayed.

  2. Confirming a Secure Transaction

    • Inputs:
      • One time password: 987654
    • Result: The platform sends 987654 for verification to confirm a financial transaction or a sensitive data change. If the OTP is correct, the transaction is approved; if not, it is denied.

  3. Resetting a Password

    • Inputs:
      • One time password: 001122
    • Result: After a user requests a password reset, they receive an OTP. This function is used to check if 001122 matches the generated OTP, allowing the user to set a new password if it's valid.
