Explanation

In response to a security breach involving compromised credentials, one-time tokens provide an effective method to enhance authentication security. These tokens are part of multi-factor authentication (MFA) and generate unique codes for each login attempt, ensuring that even if credentials are stolen, unauthorized access is prevented. Why One-time Tokens? One-time tokens are dynamic and expire after a single use, significantly reducing the risk of unauthorized access even if usernames and passwords are compromised. Often delivered through apps like Google Authenticator, hardware tokens, or SMS.
