<p><strong>Sparrow Email OTP Verification for Contact Form 7</strong> provides a robust security layer for your website by verifying user email addresses before form submission. This effectively blocks bots, spammers, and malicious actors from flooding your inbox with fake data or invalid leads.</p>
<h3>Why this plugin is different:</h3>
<p>Most existing OTP plugins require you to pay for their proprietary API or use their specific SMTP service to send codes. This often leads to unexpected monthly costs and vendor lock-in.</p>
<p>This plugin is built with a <strong>“Your Server, Your Rules”</strong> philosophy. It sends OTP codes using the native <code>wp_mail()</code> function, meaning it utilizes your website’s default mail configuration or your preferred SMTP service. <strong>There are no extra costs, no hidden fees, and no third-party accounts required.</strong></p>
<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Block Bots & Spam:</strong> Ensure every submission comes from a person with a valid, accessible email address.</li>
<li><strong>Conditional Display (New v1.1.0):</strong> Dynamically hide verification elements inside an elegant wrapper box until an email string is typed.</li>
<li><strong>Cost-Effective:</strong> Zero cost to send OTPs—it uses your existing server or SMTP setup.</li>
<li><strong>Privacy First:</strong> No data is sent to external verification APIs; everything stays on your server.</li>
<li><strong>Smart Detection:</strong> Automatically finds the email field in your Contact Form 7 forms.</li>
<li><strong>Security-First Rate Limiting:</strong> Built-in protection to prevent OTP request abuse by limiting users to 3 attempts per 5 minutes per IP address.</li>
<li><strong>Lightweight:</strong> Minimal footprint to ensure your site remains fast and passes Core Web Vitals.</li>
</ul>

<p>This plugin enhances the default WordPress login security by adding a One-Time Password (OTP) verification step via email:</p>
<ul>
<li>Users log in with their regular email/username and password.</li>
<li>If credentials are valid, an OTP is generated and emailed to the user.</li>
<li>A popup is shown on the same login page (<code>wp-login.php</code>) to enter the OTP.</li>
<li>Once the correct OTP is entered, the user is logged in.</li>
</ul>
