💎Two-factor authentication (2FA) effectively protects accounts from theft - until the user unwittingly provides a one-time password (OTP) to fraudsters.
💎Today, two-factor authentication using one-time codes is often seen as a "cure-all" - it's believed to protect against phishing, social engineering methods and to keep all accounts secure. The one-time code is requested by the service at the moment the user logs in, serving as an additional method to verify that the account is being accessed by its rightful owner.
💎This code can be generated in a special app directly on the user's device, but unfortunately, few people take the time to install and set up authenticator apps. Therefore, services most commonly send verification codes via SMS, email, push notifications, messaging apps or even voice calls.
💎While this code is time-sensitive and its use significantly enhances security, it's important to remember that even with a second authentication factor, personal accounts remain potentially vulnerable to OTP bots - automated software capable of tricking users into revealing one-time passwords through social engineering techniques.
