OTP stands for One-Time Password. It is a temporary verification code used by websites and online services to confirm that a user has access to a particular email address, phone number, or account.
When an OTP is sent by email, the code normally appears inside a verification message. You can then enter the code on the website before it expires.
Yes, a temporary email mailbox can receive email-based OTP codes when the website or service accepts temporary email addresses.
