Biggest opportunity: “otp”, “otp verification” and “phone verification” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active
At least 100 of 9.8K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,179 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other eCommerce plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 4 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

Estimated active installs
The public count shows “100+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.
Crossed into this band 3 months ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just over 100.

I had a unique problem using the OTP plugin since I didn’t use separate pages for all the forms, they were all in one page so didn’t refresh on menu changes. (Just trying to minimize time it takes to change pages.) Anyway, the OTP plugin was expecting a page change on each menu change which wasn’t happening. Customer support at OTP was great and found the problem and gave me a custom solution for my website. They did a great job and saved my website!!! All my thanks to Shrikant for his excellent help.

I spent quite a lot of time reviewing and testing one time pin plugins for my Woocommerce store. Some of them looked good, but didn’t integrate well with the returning customer login on the checkout page. This plugin works perfectly with Woocommerce on all login fields and any SMS gateway you choose. I’m using Twillio to send SMS notifications. I needed some assistance with the setup and a couple of tweaks, for instance I didn’t want passwords on my site and instead to use the customer phone number to create a new account. Now my Woocommerce customers can login with only a OTP and no password or username. Brilliant! The plugin customer support is very friendly and helpful, respond quickly and follow up afterwards. I rate the customer support as excellent! I can highly recommend this plugin and their support for passwordless OPT login for Woocoomerce.

if you’re looking for a reliable and user-friendly OTP plugin for WooCommerce, I highly recommend giving “Order Notification / SMS OTP Verification / Email OTP verification on WooCommerce” a try.
