# One-Time Password

The One-Time Password feature allows a one-time password (OTP) for a site’s Verifone Commander to be sent to an email address. An OTP may be required to make changes to specific areas within Verifone Configuration Client, such as Manage Users. However, the OTP is only displayed locally on the Verifone Commander or Verifone POS.

* A valid account with Verifone Commander Central
* An active site, onboarded with Verifone Commander Central
* Verifone Software Release 53.35+
