Disabling one-time passcode (OTP) verification

Account owners and admins on paid accounts can disable the one-time passcode (OTP) security feature, also known as a verification code, for all users on their account. OTP is designed to mitigate account hijackings due to compromised or weak credentials and help keep your account more secure. If OTP is disabled at the account level, users can still enable it for their personal use.

Note: At this time, admins cannot enable or disable OTP for specific users or groups.
