Rapido OTP bug
So in my last 4 rapdio bike rides, OTP was same 9996 How is this possible?
They don't change the OTP so that you memorize it over time. There's a very low chance of getting a repeat bike captain and the bike captain remembering your OTP from a previous ride. So low chances of fraud. Not foolproof, but the downside is limited.

But some of the people might have the same otp, right?
Sure. But what are the odds of these people being in the same location at the same time? What's the risk that you foresee?

Actually my first four digits
But that steals the concept of password right?
What if somebody with same starting digits takes my ride?
They have your numbers in their database. People with the same first 4 digits in the same location probably won't have the same OTP.

I have noticed this long back. Seems like Rapido assigns same OTP to a user

Why did they not just go with the approach of assigning random otps, like other companies do?

They should name it as Pass Code and it's a perfectly working solution. Naming is bad as its not "one time", however I like the idea of having a passcode to verify, similar to PIN.
