After its cancellation, you will not be able to put items into your OTP storage. In addition, you will be forced to use the Item Trading Password prior to purchasing items in player shops. In order to continue using these features, Sega recommends switching over to the Google Authenticator method.

If you are not planning on using Google Authenticator, we highly recommend taking the time now to remove Secure OTP from your account. Do not delete your Secure OTP app until after you manually remove the Secure OTP service from your account. In addition, those who removed their Item Trading Password during their Secure OTP service, should take the time now to add the Item Trading Password back to their account. You can ignore the previous statement if you're making the switch to Google Authenticator.
