Shadcn Input OTP: Streamlined, Accessible One-Time Passcodes

The Shadcn Input OTP offers a flexible, accessible solution for entering one-time passcodes (OTP), pin codes, or multi-step verification flows.

Featuring 10 OTP variants, it provides customizable, interactive UI elements to ensure smooth, secure authentication processes in any React OTP Input workflow. Built with React and Tailwind CSS, it's ideal for login systems, password resets, or transaction verifications within any React Input OTP workflow.

What is Shadcn Input OTP?

The Shadcn Input OTP is a component designed specifically for handling OTP inputs in a secure, user-friendly way.

Besides, it also splits the OTP into individual, easy-to-manage segments (e.g., 4, 6, or 8 digits), supports focus management, and validates input as the user types.

It integrates well with React for form handling and supports full accessibility, including focus trapping and screen reader compatibility.

Why Use Shadcn Input OTP?

• Secure and Streamlined: Ideal for multi-step forms, authentication systems, and verification processes that require OTP entry.
• Fully Customizable: Tailwind utilities provide full control over size, color, and spacing, allowing you to style the OTP input to fit your design system.
• Keyboard-Friendly: Works with the keyboard or numeric keypad, enabling smooth entry for users, including touch devices.
• Accessible by Default: Includes proper ARIA roles, focus management, and error feedback to support screen readers and assistive technologies.
• Interactive Features: Automatically advances to the next input when a digit is entered, supports paste functionality, and can show or hide the OTP.

Features

• Auto-Advance on Input: Automatically moves to the next OTP input when a digit is typed.
• Paste-to-Complete Support: Allows the user to paste the full OTP if it's copied to the clipboard.
• Focus Management: Focus automatically shifts to the next input field as the user types, and returns to the first invalid field on error.
• Error Handling: Clear error messages if an incorrect OTP is entered or if the OTP expires.
• Timer Support: Optionally, include a timer to show how much time is left before the OTP expires.
• Customizable Length: Easily adjust the number of segments (e.g., 4, 6, or 8 digits).
• Success & Error States: Visual feedback on valid and invalid OTP entries using colors and icons.
• Paste and Input Validation: Handle paste events and ensure that users can't submit an incomplete OTP.

Production Tips

• Auto-Focus: For a better user experience, focus on the first input field when the OTP modal/dialog is opened.
• Ensure Clear Instructions: Use placeholders or labels (e.g., "Enter OTP" or "PIN Code") for context and guide users.
• Prevent Keyboard Issues: Ensure that the OTP input triggers the numeric keypad on mobile devices for quicker entry.
• Security Considerations: Use proper backend validation of OTPs and enforce OTP expiration to maintain security.
• User Experience: Allow users to clear the OTP field or even resend the OTP with a button after it expires.
• Time Management: If using a timer, ensure that the user knows how much time remains to submit the OTP, and provide a clear call to action if the OTP expires.

Integration With Other Components

The Shadcn Input OTP integrates seamlessly within the Shadcn ecosystem — compatible with Shadcn components for secure and interactive multi-step workflows.

Pair Shadcn Input OTP with Shadcn Button for "Submit" or "Resend OTP" actions, and embed it inside a Shadcn Dialog modal for step-wise authentication. Use Shadcn Tooltip to display helpful instructions (e.g., "Check your email for the code"), and integrate with Shadcn Timer to show OTP expiration countdowns.

For enhanced validation, combine it with Shadcn Form to handle submission errors and user feedback. In data-centric interfaces, Shadcn Input OTP can interact with Shadcn Table to trigger conditional data, and use Shadcn Select for alternative verification options.

This makes Shadcn Input OTP a flexible shadcn ui component for building secure, responsive, and user-friendly authentication flows.
