Hi Friends! We know that Facebook is a social network that connects people with their friends. This popular social networking website progressively introduces One Time Password functionality (OTP) . This OTP is to generate a password code that is valid only for one login session or transaction and this avoids the traditional static password which is stored by the browser for login.
The main goal of OTP is that people using public computers for logging onto their Facebook account without using their regular password. Instead they can use One Time Password feature to prevent their account from keyloggers and online monitoring malware. To use the OTP service, users should text ” otp ” to 32665. They will immediately receive a code and they can use that code for logging in. This temporary access code is good for 20 minutes only, after that it gets useless . The cell phone number which is specified at the time of account registration is used for this process.
