Verification Code
A verification code is a short code or string of numbers sent or generated to verify users identities or securely access their accounts.
A verification code is a security measure often used on online platforms or services to verify users identities or secure their accounts. The user typically provides contact information such as a mobile phone number or email address to receive the verification code. The verification code is then transmitted or displayed to the user via this communication tool within a certain period of time. Once the user enters this code, their identity is verified and their account becomes securely accessible. Verification codes can also be used as part of the dual-factor authentication process, making accounts more secure.
