HOTP	OTP authentication is an elegant solution to both security concerns and UX. There are two types of OTP: HOTP and TOTP. The “H” in HOTP stands for Hash-based Message Authentication Code (HMAC). Put in layman’s terms, HMAC-based One-time Password algorithm (HOTP) is an event-based OTP where the moving factor in each code is based on a counter. Time-based One-time Password (TOTP) is a time-based OTP. The seed for TOTP is static, just like in HOTP, but the moving factor in a TOTP is time-based rather than counter-based.
