[[one-time-token-login]]
= One-Time Token Login
Spring Security offers support for One-Time Token (OTT) authentication via the `oneTimeTokenLogin()` DSL.
Before diving into implementation details, it's important to clarify the scope of the OTT feature within the framework, highlighting what is supported and what isn't.
== Understanding One-Time Tokens vs. One-Time Passwords
It's common to confuse One-Time Tokens (OTT) with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-time_password[One-Time Passwords] (OTP), but in Spring Security, these concepts differ in several key ways.
For clarity, we'll assume OTP refers to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-based_one-time_password[TOTP] (Time-Based One-Time Password) or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMAC-based_one-time_password[HOTP] (HMAC-Based One-Time Password).
=== Setup Requirements
- OTT: No initial setup is required. The user doesn't need to configure anything in advance.
- OTP: Typically requires setup, such as generating and sharing a secret key with an external tool to produce the one-time passwords.
=== Token Delivery
- OTT: Usually a custom javadoc:org.springframework.security.web.authentication.ott.OneTimeTokenGenerationSuccessHandler[] must be implemented, responsible for delivering the token to the end user.
- OTP: The token is often generated by an external tool, so there's no need to send it to the user via the application.
=== Token Generation
- OTT: The javadoc:org.springframework.security.authentication.ott.OneTimeTokenService#generate(org.springframework.security.authentication.ott.GenerateOneTimeTokenRequest)[] method requires a javadoc:org.springframework.security.authentication.ott.OneTimeToken[] to be returned, emphasizing server-side generation.
- OTP: The token is not necessarily generated on the server side, it's often created by the client using the shared secret.
In summary, One-Time Tokens (OTT) provide a way to authenticate users without additional account setup, differentiating them from One-Time Passwords (OTP), which typically involve a more complex setup process and rely on external tools for token generation.
The One-Time Token Login works in two major steps.
1. User requests a token by submitting their user identifier, usually the username, and the token is delivered to them, often as a Magic Link, via e-mail, SMS, etc.
2. User submits the token to the one-time token login endpoint and, if valid, the user gets logged in.
In the following sections we will explore how to configure OTT Login for your needs.
- <<default-pages,Understanding the integration with the default generated login page>>
- <<sending-token-to-user,Sending the token to the user>>
- <<changing-submit-page-url,Configuring the One-Time Token submit page>>
- <<changing-generate-url,Changing the One-Time Token generate URL>>
- <<customize-generate-consume-token,Customize how to generate and consume tokens>>
[[default-pages]]
== Default Login Page and Default One-Time Token Submit Page
The `oneTimeTokenLogin()` DSL can be used in conjunction with `formLogin()`, which will produce an additional One-Time Token Request Form in the xref:servlet/authentication/passwords/form.adoc[default generated login page].
It will also set up the javadoc:org.springframework.security.web.authentication.ui.DefaultOneTimeTokenSubmitPageGeneratingFilter[] to generate a default One-Time Token submit page.
[[sending-token-to-user]]
== Sending the Token to the User
It is not possible for Spring Security to reasonably determine the way the token should be delivered to your users.
Therefore, a custom javadoc:org.springframework.security.web.authentication.ott.OneTimeTokenGenerationSuccessHandler[] must be provided to deliver the token to the user based on your needs.
One of the most common delivery strategies is a Magic Link, via e-mail, SMS, etc.
In the following example, we are going to create a magic link and sent it to the user's email.

======
<1> Make the `MagicLinkOneTimeTokenGenerationSuccessHandler` a Spring bean
<2> Create a login processing URL with the `token` as a query param
<3> Retrieve the user's email based on the username
<4> Use the `JavaMailSender` API to send the email to the user with the magic link
<5> Use the `RedirectOneTimeTokenGenerationSuccessHandler` to perform a redirect to your desired URL
The email content will look similar to:
> Use the following link to sign in into the application: \http://localhost:8080/login/ott?token=a830c444-29d8-4d98-9b46-6aba7b22fe5b
The default submit page will detect that the URL has the `token` query param and will automatically fill the form field with the token value.
[[changing-generate-url]]
== Changing the One-Time Token Generate URL
By default, the javadoc:org.springframework.security.web.authentication.ott.GenerateOneTimeTokenFilter[] listens to `POST /ott/generate` requests.
That URL can be changed by using the `generateTokenUrl(String)` DSL method:

[[customize-generate-consume-token]]
== Customize How to Generate and Consume One-Time Tokens
The interface that define the common operations for generating and consuming one-time tokens is the javadoc:org.springframework.security.authentication.ott.OneTimeTokenService[].
Spring Security uses the javadoc:org.springframework.security.authentication.ott.InMemoryOneTimeTokenService[] as the default implementation of that interface, if none is provided.
For production environments consider using javadoc:org.springframework.security.authentication.ott.JdbcOneTimeTokenService[].
Some of the most common reasons to customize the `OneTimeTokenService` are, but not limited to:
- Changing the one-time token expire time
- Storing more information from the generate token request
- Changing how the token value is created
- Additional validation when consuming a one-time token
There are two options to customize the `OneTimeTokenService`.
One option is to provide it as a bean, so it can be automatically be picked-up by the `oneTimeTokenLogin()` DSL:

The second option is to pass the `OneTimeTokenService` instance to the DSL, which is useful if there are multiple `SecurityFilterChain` and a different `OneTimeTokenService` is needed for each of them.
