Also known as: email one-time password, email verification code

Last updated August 9, 2026

Definition

Email OTP sends a one-time code to your inbox for verification — weaker than passkeys/security keys if email is already compromised.

Real-World Example

Entering a 6-digit code from Gmail to confirm a new shopping-site login.
