• OTP and Email Address: OTP refers to using a one-time passcode generated by an authenticator app, such as the Google Authenticator app on your mobile device, and a GateKeeper user's email address. This option is suitable for users who prefer using their mobile devices for authentication or backup options in case someone forgets their token. Click here to learn more.
