One - time Password Based Authentication (OTP)
One-Time Password (OTP) Authentication is a passwordless authentication method that verifies users using a one-time password sent to their registered email address. It is used to provide secure access to shared files and folders without requiring a permanent password. When users access a share, they enter their email address, receive an OTP if authorized, and use it to authenticate and access the shared content.
This document explains how to create an OTP Authentication Login Profile and configure email-based access for shared files and folders.
