OTP Generator and Validator Card using JavaScript & Tailwind CSS

Last Updated : 07 Mar, 2024

OTP (One-Time Password) generator and validator built using Tailwind CSS and JavaScript allows users to generate a random OTP and validate it against the entered OTP. The application has a user-friendly interface for generating and validating OTPs using JavaScript for interactivity and Tailwind CSS for styling.

Approach to create OTP Generator and Validator

Integrate the Tailwind CSS via CDN Link in your HTML code. Use different HTML elements to structure the web page and style them using different Tailwind utilities.
The JavaScript code at the bottom of the page adds functionality to the buttons. When the "Generate OTP" button is clicked, it generates a random OTP consisting of 6 characters (a mix of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, and numbers) and displays it in the OTP box.
It also enables the "Validate OTP" button and clears any previous status message.
When the "Validate OTP" button is clicked, it checks if the entered OTP matches the generated OTP.
Depending on the result, it updates the status message accordingly and applies the appropriate text color (green for valid OTP, red for invalid OTP).
