Introduction: Why OTP Login Matters for WooCommerce

In today’s digital landscape, security and user experience are non-negotiable—especially in eCommerce. One of the smartest ways to enhance both is by enabling OTP (One-Time Password) login in your WooCommerce store. It not only streamlines the login process but also eliminates password fatigue and reduces account breaches.

This guide shows you how to add secure OTP login to WooCommerce using the Happy Coders OTP Login plugin with MSG91 integration.

What Is OTP Login?

OTP login is a passwordless authentication method where users log in using a one-time code sent to their mobile number via SMS or WhatsApp. It removes the need for traditional passwords and makes login secure, fast, and user-friendly.
