OTP security landscape

SMS OTP is still popular but is actually vulnerable to SIM swap, phishing, and intercept. Understanding the trade-offs between 2FA methods is important if you care about security.

Security best practices

• Use TOTP (Google Authenticator) for important accounts (safer than SMS).
• Enable SIM PIN/biometric to prevent unauthorized re-issue.
• Never share OTP via WhatsApp/Telegram, whoever gets access will get the OTP.
• For very important accounts, use hardware tokens (YubiKey).

What does OTPZap do for security?

• Session tokens are SHA-256 hashed, soft IP check + 2FA TOTP for admin.
• Idempotency checks on all financial transactions so double-spend will not happen.
• Active Sessions feature in dashboard so you can revoke foreign devices.
• Anti-fraud detection in referral and promo with duplicate IP flagging.
