OTP verification tests that prove codes work when users need them.
Capture one-time codes, validate expiry behavior, and complete MFA or login challenges inside your automated tests.
Your verification code
To: mfa-user@test.trivumo.com
Use this one-time code to finish signing in. The code expires in 10 minutes.
OTP extraction
✓ OTP email delivered ✓ code extracted ✓ challenge accepted ✓ session created
Common Failure Points
Why OTP Flows Break
OTP verification depends on delivery speed, code parsing, expiration windows, retry rules, and authentication state updates.
Codes arrive too late
Expose delivery delays that make short-lived OTP codes unusable.
Code parsing breaks
Extract OTPs from real email bodies instead of brittle regexes scattered through tests.
Expiry rules regress
Validate expiration windows, regenerated codes, and stale code rejection.
Retry state is wrong
Catch incorrect resend behavior, attempt counters, and rate limits.
Wrong recipient
Make sure every OTP goes to the expected user and isolated test inbox.
Template ambiguity
Verify the subject and email body make the right code easy to identify.
OTP tests are fragile when humans copy codes from an inbox. Trivumo lets automation capture the message, extract the code, and complete the challenge directly.

FAQ
OTP Verification Testing Questions
Everything teams need to automate one-time password emails with Trivumo.
How do I test OTP emails automatically?+
Trigger the OTP flow, wait for the email in Trivumo, extract the code from the message, enter it in your app, and assert the verification succeeds.
Can I test OTP expiry and resend behavior?+
Yes. You can request multiple codes, inspect delivery timing, and assert how your app handles stale, regenerated, or invalid OTPs.
Does Trivumo parse OTP codes automatically?+
Trivumo gives your tests access to the message content so you can extract codes from the subject, text, or HTML using your preferred test helper.
Can OTP tests run in CI?+
Yes. OTP email tests can run in CI/CD pipelines with isolated test inboxes and no manual copy-paste step.
Stop Manually Copying OTP Codes
Automate email OTP verification and catch MFA regressions before they reach users.
