I'm exploring the security implications of OTP (One-Time Password) authentication and wondering about the effectiveness of server-side protections against brute force attacks.

If an attacker attempts to send all possible OTP codes within a 1-second timeframe, is there a chance that the server could accept the correct one and grant the attacker access?

What are recommended strategies or technologies to prevent such rapid-fire OTP brute force attacks and ensure robust security?

  • Rate-limiting appears to be the most obvious protection. Next being a failure-limit. Commented Jan 29, 2024 at 8:53
