Description: A dynamic password is a type of authentication characterized by changing at regular intervals or with each login attempt. Unlike static passwords, which remain fixed and can be vulnerable to attacks such as phishing or the use of stolen password lists, dynamic passwords offer an additional layer of security. This method relies on algorithms that generate temporary passwords, which are valid only for a short period or for a single use. This means that even if an attacker manages to intercept a dynamic password, they will not be able to use it again once it has expired. Dynamic passwords are commonly used in multifactor authentication systems, where they are combined with other verification methods, such as codes sent to mobile devices or biometrics, to ensure that only authorized users can access sensitive information. This approach not only enhances security but also helps mitigate the risk of unauthorized access, becoming an essential tool in protecting data in increasingly complex and threatening digital environments.
