Guides

Ongoing AC Scratches

Secure OTP Users

The missing menu button has been a well-known issue that has plagued OTP users for years. To help combat this problem, Third Networks has decided to release "SecureOTP2," a new application with its own menu button embedded right on the screen! This revolutionary new feature should help ease the pain for Android 5.0+ and beyond. You can download this app for free on the Google Play Store.

If you are a current user and have no problems with the original SecureOTP application, then there is no need for you to upgrade to SecureOTP2. However, those who wish to create a new One Time Password with future Android versions, should install SecureOTP2 instead.

The One-time Password guide has been updated with SecureOTP2 as the baseline for the instructions.
