With OTP login, a guest types their mobile number on the WiFi login page, receives a one-time code by SMS and is online in seconds. You get a verified number for every user - useful for security, for records and for staying in touch - without handing out passwords.
1) The guest joins the WiFi and the branded login page opens. 2) They enter their mobile number. 3) The system sends a one-time code by SMS through the SMS gateway. 4) The guest types the code and the internet opens, with the speed and time limits you set.

For real examples, see how The Fern in Goa and Best Western Dharamshala run OTP login.
