I have a question - you know the 'little magic boxes' on 10:57 - May 23 with 1092 views | TimeSyncOTP | It's a time-synchronised one-time password and works the same whether created on a hardware device provided by the bank or via an app on your phone. Codes issued via SMS are also a form of one-time passwords but considered less secure because of the risk of SIM swap attacks. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-time_password#Time-synchronized | | | | Login to get fewer ads

They don't need to speak to one another by design. Both the device and the bank's servers share two pieces of data - synchronised clocks and a unique ID of the device. The device uses its time and a unique ID linked to your account to generate a code. The server is then able to use the time at which it receives the code and the unique ID linked to your account to generate a value using the same algorithm and check that they match. On a mobile app, when you first setup the device with the server, you either enter the unique key onto the device or scan a QR code which contains the key. This is then stored within the app. A physical device provided by the bank will already have this unique ID set up before you receive it. | | | |

Wow... how knowledgable, and what an uncanny coincidence that your user name almost entirely seems to be made for answering a question like this. Have you just joined, or been waiting years for someone to pop up with the question? Welcome! | |

I recently asked on here for the most effective way of killing flies indoors and am now the proud owner of a salt bug gun, thanks to SkipIntro. It's a gamechanger. | |

SkipIntro doesn't sound quite the specialist niche name that we have encountered here for answering the fly killing question. | |
