One-Time Password, a short-lived code sent by SMS, WhatsApp, or another channel to verify a user during login, signup, or a sensitive transaction.

Why OTP Matters

OTP delivery is latency-sensitive in a way marketing messages are not: a user waiting on a login screen will abandon it within seconds, so OTP traffic typically needs priority routing and the fastest available path, distinct from bulk promotional sends.

How OTP Works

The application generates a short numeric or alphanumeric code, sends it as a transactional SMS (or WhatsApp template message) tied to that user session, and validates what the user types back against it within a short expiry window.

How SMPPCenter Uses This

SMPPCenter supports transactional OTP sends with priority routing separate from promotional traffic, and DLT template matching where that regulatory requirement applies.
