Xoxoday Empuls supports OTP-based login, enabling users to authenticate via a time-bound one-time password delivered to their registered email address or mobile number, either as a standalone method or alongside SSO.
OTP-based login on Xoxoday Empuls provides a secure, frictionless way for employees to access the platform without relying solely on a traditional username and password. When a user initiates login, a unique one-time password is generated and delivered to their registered contact. The code expires after a short window, significantly reducing the risk of unauthorised access. This authentication method is especially valuable for organisations where employees do not always have access to a corporate SSO provider, or where shared devices are common on the floor. For example, manufacturing or retail teams using Darwinbox as their HRMS can configure Xoxoday Empuls to fall back on OTP login when SSO is unavailable, ensuring continuous access without IT intervention. Xoxoday Empuls allows OTP login to operate as a standalone authentication method or in combination with Single Sign-On. In a hybrid setup, users can choose to authenticate through their organisation’s SSO provider — such as Microsoft Azure AD connected via MS Teams — or opt for an OTP delivered to their registered contact. This flexibility ensures employees in different geographies or network conditions can always reach the platform. From a security standpoint, OTP-based login aligns with multi-factor authentication best practices and supports Xoxoday Empuls’s compliance posture under frameworks such as ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II. Each OTP is time-bound and single-use, meaning it cannot be reused even if intercepted — adding a meaningful layer of protection for employee recognition and reward data. IT and HR administrators can configure OTP preferences directly within the Xoxoday Empuls settings panel, choosing whether to enable OTP as the primary login path, a secondary fallback, or both. This gives organisations fine-grained control over their authentication policy without requiring developer involvement. For global teams rolling out Xoxoday Empuls across Slack-connected workspaces or integrated with SAP SuccessFactors for employee data sync, OTP login ensures that users who have not yet completed SSO provisioning can still authenticate immediately. This removes a common onboarding bottleneck and keeps platform adoption momentum high from day one. Learn more: Empuls Help Centre — Login
