Secure Email-Based OTP Generation and Verification System

The proposed Email-Based OTP Generation and Verification System provides a secure, efficient, and user-friendly authentication mechanism that enhances access control in modern applications. Developed using Flask, the system ensures smooth integration with backend services while maintaining strong security protocols. By employing unique, time-bound OTPs and encrypted transmission, it effectively reduces risks such as interception, unauthorized access, and brute-force attacks. This system offers a reliable authentication framework, and with further enhancements, it has the potential to become an industry-standard security solution, ensuring safe and seamless digital interactions across various platforms.
