The inherent password weakness that a One Time Password (OTP) generator overcomes is that static passwords are easily disclosed, meaning that they can be revealed or exposed to unauthorized parties, such as attackers, hackers, or eavesdroppers, who can then use them to impersonate or compromise the user or the device. A static password can be disclosed by various means, such as phishing, social engineering, keylogging, shoulder surfing, or network sniffing. An OTP generator is a device or a software that generates and displays a password that is valid only for one authentication session or a short period of time, and that is changed or replaced for each subsequent authentication session. An OTP generator overcomes the inherent weakness of a static password that it is easily disclosed, as it makes the password unpredictable and unusable for unauthorized parties, even if they manage to obtain or intercept the password. Static passwords must be changed frequently, static passwords are too predictable, and static passwords are difficult to generate are not inherent password weaknesses that an OTP generator overcomes, as they are either not related to the disclosure of the password, or they are not addressed or solved by the OTP generator.
