As implied in the name, these passwords can only be used once and because they are generated on the users personal cell phone device, are impossible to copy, steal or reuse.
Cell-OTP™ is not an SMS OTP solution and should not be confused with this type of offering. SMS OTP services are unreliable and often costly to use as a long-term OTP solution (because of the cost of the SMSs).
