How many times we can send OTP?
How many times can I request for an OTP to be re-sent to me? You can request for an OTP to be re-sent to you up to maximum of 5 times. If you have exhausted the no. of attempts and have still not received the OTP, please re-start the transaction.
Can OTP be used twice?
The idea behind an OTP is that it can only ever be used once, hence “One Time Pin”. If you reuse the same OTP for a certain time period you are not using it only once. The single use is to ensure that a lost of compromised OTP becomes ineffective as soon as a new one is requested.

What do you need to know about OTP’s?
The OTP is a set of numbers sent to a user, usually to his or her phone number or email, that is needed to validate access or a transaction, which minimizes the risk of fraud. As the name suggests, it’s only for single use, and it quickly expires.
Is there a reason to change OTP code on every resend attempt?
Usually, when you send an OTP, you want to give the user an option to resend the OTP. Is there a reason to generate new OTP code on each resend attempt? If so, is it really needed to revoke the previous codes once a resend has been made? I have seen services, Facebook for example, who send you the same code in the resend attempts.
Never share it with anyone! The rule is that the OTP is for you and you alone, meaning you’re the only one who should receive it and you should NEVER share it with anyone. Exposing it to other users defeats the purpose of the OTP. As an analogy, it is like having two different keys to your house — one for the gate and another one for the main door.
