A verification code serves as a security measure to safeguard online services against misuse or spamming by automated programs known as internet bots.
If you have ever come across a captcha while filling out a form on a website, then you are already familiar with the concept of a verification code. A captcha is a randomly generated code displayed as an image above a textbox. To successfully submit the form, the user must accurately enter the code exactly as it appears in the image. Each time the form is accessed, a different code is presented.
Captcha images are intentionally designed to be somewhat challenging to decipher, even for humans, to prevent bots from being able to read them.
Another type of verification code is the Google Verification code. This is a short numeric code that is sent directly to the user, usually via phone or email, to verify their identity.
Users may be prompted to enter a verification code when creating a Google account, resetting their password, or logging in from an unfamiliar device for the first time.
It is worth noting that this form of verification code is not limited to Google. Many similar options are available, and any service can provide website creators and users with a verification code service. These services are commonly used for both traditional banking and cryptocurrency accounts, such as two-factor authentication (2FA), which ensures a high level of security.
