3.27 Voice OTP

The Voice OTP method enables you to authenticate using the OTP that is sent through the phone call to your registered phone number. You can use this OTP for authentication within a short duration. When you try to authenticate on any device, the specified OTP is compared with the OTP generated on the server. If both the OTPs are identical, you are authenticated successfully.

NOTE:If a phone number is not registered in the repository for a user profile, then the Voice OTP method is not enrolled automatically. However, you can manually enroll the Voice OTP method from the Your Enrolled Single Methods for sign in section, specify the phone number and click Save.
