How to generate a One-Time Password (OTP)?
How to generate a One-Time Password (OTP)?
Updated over a week ago

If you have registered in the Lingohub application via social sign-up (Google, GitLab, GitHub accounts, etc.), you didn't create the profile password. But a password is required data for some action confirmation like:

  • projects deleting

  • project transferring

  • account deleting

  • password changing

  • etc.

In such cases, Lingohub offers a One-Time-Password (OTP) option.

Note: Every OTP can be used only once and is valid for 5 minutes.

Example:

You can get your OTP when performing specific actions, for example, project transferring.

  1. Click "Workspace" on the left-side panel and choose "Projects."

  2. Choose the project you want to transfer and click on the gear icon at the top-right corner.

  3. Find the "Transfer project" section on the project settings page and click "Transfer project."

  4. Choose "Send one-time password." You will receive the notification in your email inbox.

  5. Enter your one-time password in the appropriate field and click the "Transfer project" button.

You can also generate the OTP for project deleting, account deleting, or password changing similarly.
