What is TOTP in Aadhaar Card and How to use it?

What is TOTP
  • TOTP is a one-time temporary password (OTP) that is generated by an algorithm and valid only for 30 seconds. Because of this time variable characteristic, it is called TOTP.
What is TOTP in Aadhaar Card and How to use it?
  • TOTP is 8 digit long numeric string.
  • TOTP is personal to the resident and is uniquely generated every 30 seconds for each resident separately.
  • With time-based OTP, the TOTP validation server and token generation app (like mAadhaar) use their respective system times to generate OTPs. The TOTP algorithm assumes that the system times are synchronized.

Why to use TOTP?

TOTPs avoid a number of shortcomings that are associated with traditional SMS based OTP. The most important shortcoming that is addressed by TOTPs is that resident will not be dependent on mobile network for SMS delivery. Generating and sending OTP requires users to go through a completely unrelated workflow.

How TOTP is generated?

TOTP is generated in mobile application like mAadhaar. However, the Client mobile device’s time should be in sync with IST time-zone.

How to configure?
  • Download mAadhaar android mobile application
  • Create new resident profile.
  • Navigate to TOTP page view, your TOTP should be visible and is valid for 30 seconds.

I am Unable to access Aadhaar Online Services / Website from outside India. Please suggest?

UIDAI's official website i.e. www.uidai.gov.in doesn't have any such restriction and should be accessible from anywhere. However, some of the UIDAI web based features like Resident Portal, eAadhaar, Self Service Update Portal (SSUP), Aadhaar Linking Status etc are Geo-Based policy enabled and therefore, will not be accessible from outside India.
