Why admin OTP matters in high-risk panels

An admin session can approve payments, edit provider credentials and expose customer data. A single password is often not enough protection for that scope.

OTP reduces high-impact mistakes

Requiring a second confirmation step sharply lowers the chance that a leaked session or reused password becomes a full operational incident.

What good OTP enforcement looks like

  • Challenge happens after login but before sensitive admin API access.
  • Delivery state is auditable.
  • Sessions record whether OTP was completed.

That is the difference between security theatre and an actual administrative guardrail.

Migration note

  • This article is no longer rendered through legacy Twig templates.
  • The content model now sits in the new Postgres schema.
  • Public detail routes can be smoke-tested directly without legacy fallback.
