Abstract
The invention refers to a method for increasing a security level of one-time-password message format of an organization and for disabling displays of one-time-passwords on screens of smartphones in a state of locked-screen-preview. The method includes the steps of having a computer system of an organization on which the format is saved and used for sending one-time-passwords to smartphones of clients of the organization, redrafting the format or replacing the format with a new format to include at least one hundred and twenty characters from the beginning of the redrafted or the new format until the digits that comprise the one-time-password, and using the redrafted or the new format for sending one-time-passwords to smartphones of clients of the organization. By that, the one-time-passwords are disabled to be shown on the screens of the smartphones that are in a state of locked-screen-preview.
