Pros and Cons of the App
These are our personal reason why we like and dislike the Zenith OTP e-Token App.
Pros:
- Can always be replaced. Unlike the hardware token that could get stolen, damaged, or expire, downloading the Zenith Bank OTP e-Token App bridges that gap. Even when the phone gets stolen or damaged you can always download a new app and re-login
- The Zenith OTP app download will always be free just like the Zenith mobile banking app. You won’t have to pay a dime to get the app download, unlike going to buy (re-purchasing) the hardware token.
- If is likely to be free-cost using the app to generate OTPs.
Cons:
- Requires network to generate OTP codes. As of the time of publishing this page, the Zenith e-Token uses data to generate tokens. We expected that Zenith Bank would have programed its app to work like the 2-Factor Authentication apps (like Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, Duo Mobile authenticator, and many others). These apps generate codes to protect online accounts and those need network (data) to generate those codes.
