Disadvantages of One-Time Passwords (OTPs)
One-time passwords (OTPs) have long served as a standard authentication method, providing unique and temporary codes for secure access to online accounts and sensitive actions. While OTPs offer a level of security, they come with inherent drawbacks that highlight the need for a more robust and user-friendly authentication solution.
Lack of Security in OTPs
The primary disadvantage of OTPs lies in their transmission over unencrypted channels, leaving them vulnerable to interception by malicious actors. Despite users’ efforts to secure their devices, unsecured OTP transmission can compromise sensitive information, making users susceptible to account breaches and data theft.
Difficulty of OTP Management
Managing multiple OTPs within a limited timeframe presents a significant challenge for users. This complexity often leads to confusion, with users struggling to use OTPs before they expire or accidentally using the wrong code, resulting in account lockouts. This inconvenience is magnified when accessing accounts from unfamiliar devices, further hindering the login process.
Effectiveness Concerns with OTPs
OTP effectiveness hinges on the assumption that only the intended user possesses access to the receiving device. However, this assumption can be exploited by attackers through social engineering, malware, or device theft, circumventing OTP-based security measures and compromising user accounts.
