If you've been using online services employing layers of security such as online banking or credit card transactions, then you might have already encountered the OTP or One-Time PIN. As an example, the Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) uses OTP and sends their clients a unique 6-digit password when they make critical or highly sensitive online transactions.
