Activation OTP-Specific Details

During ArcotID OTP authentication, a roaming user who chooses to configure the ArcotID OTP application on their device is prompted for secondary authentication. If the end user selects Security Code over Email as the secondary authentication method, the end user is sent an email with a security code. The end user must specify this OTP on the login page to proceed with the ArcotID OTP application configuration.

A tenant must provide the following details to configure the activation OTP to be used with the ArcotID OTP credential:

• Whether the activation OTP must be of numeric or alphanumeric type.

  Example: Numeric

• The length (in bits) of the activation code.

  Example: 5

• The period for which the activation OTP is valid.

  Example: 1 day

• The number of times for which an activation OTP can be used.
