# OTP Field

A high-quality, unstyled React OTP field component for one-time password and verification code entry.

## Demo

### Tailwind

This example shows how to implement the component using Tailwind CSS.

```tsx
/* index.tsx */
import * as React from 'react';
import { OTPField } from '@base-ui/react/otp-field';

const OTP_LENGTH = 6;

export default function ExampleOTPField() {
  const id = React.useId();
  const descriptionId = `${id}-description`;

  return (
    <div className="flex w-full max-w-80 flex-col items-start gap-1">
      <label htmlFor={id} className="text-sm font-bold text-neutral-950 dark:text-white">
        Verification code
      </label>
      <OTPField.Root
        id={id}
        length={OTP_LENGTH}
        aria-describedby={descriptionId}
        className="flex w-full gap-2"
      >
        {Array.from({ length: OTP_LENGTH }, (_, index) => (
          <OTPField.Input
            key={index}
            className="m-0 h-10 w-10 rounded-none border border-neutral-950 bg-white dark:bg-neutral-950 text-center font-inherit text-base font-normal text-neutral-950 focus:outline-2 focus:-outline-offset-1 focus:outline-neutral-950 dark:focus:outline-white dark:border-white dark:text-white"
            aria-label={`Character ${index + 1} of ${OTP_LENGTH}`}
          />
        ))}
      </OTPField.Root>
      <p id={descriptionId} className="m-0 text-sm text-neutral-600 dark:text-neutral-400">
        Enter the 6-character code we sent to your device.
      </p>
    </div>
  );
}
```

### CSS Modules

  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  align-items: start;
  gap: 0.25rem;
  width: 100%;

  font-weight: 700;
  color: oklch(14.5% 0 0deg);

  @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
    color: white;
  }
}

.Root {
  display: flex;
  gap: 0.5rem;
  width: 100%;
}

.Input {
  box-sizing: border-box;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;

  border: 1px solid oklch(14.5% 0 0deg);
  width: 2.5rem;
  height: 2.5rem;
  border-radius: 0;
  font-family: inherit;

  @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
    border: 1px solid white;
    background-color: oklch(14.5% 0 0deg);
    color: white;
  }

  &:focus {
    outline: 2px solid oklch(14.5% 0 0deg);
    outline-offset: -1px;

    @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
      outline-color: white;
    }
  }
}

.Description {
  margin: 0;
  font-size: 0.875rem;
  line-height: 1.25rem;
  color: oklch(43.9% 0 0deg);

  @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
    color: oklch(70.8% 0 0deg);
  }
}
```

```tsx
/* index.tsx */
import * as React from 'react';
import { OTPField } from '@base-ui/react/otp-field';
import styles from './index.module.css';

const OTP_LENGTH = 6;

export default function ExampleOTPField() {
  const id = React.useId();
  const descriptionId = `${id}-description`;

  return (
    <div className={styles.Field}>
      <label htmlFor={id} className={styles.Label}>
        Verification code
      </label>
      <OTPField.Root
        id={id}
        length={OTP_LENGTH}
        aria-describedby={descriptionId}
        className={styles.Root}
      >
        {Array.from({ length: OTP_LENGTH }, (_, index) => (
          <OTPField.Input
            key={index}
            className={styles.Input}
            aria-label={`Character ${index + 1} of ${OTP_LENGTH}`}
          />
        ))}
      </OTPField.Root>
      <p id={descriptionId} className={styles.Description}>
        Enter the 6-character code we sent to your device.
      </p>
    </div>
  );
}
```

## Usage guidelines

- **Form controls must have an accessible name**: It can be created using a `<label>` element or the `Field` component. See [Labeling an OTP field](/react/components/otp-field.md) and the [forms guide](/react/handbook/forms.md).

## Anatomy

Import the component and assemble its parts:

```jsx title="Anatomy"
import { OTPField } from '@base-ui/react/otp-field';

<OTPField.Root>
  <OTPField.Input />
  <OTPField.Separator />
</OTPField.Root>;
```

## Examples

### Labeling an OTP field

Pass an `id` to `<OTPField.Root>` and use a native `<label>` with a matching `htmlFor`. Let the
first input use the field label, and add `aria-label` to the remaining inputs so assistive
technology can announce which slot is focused.

Optionally, add `aria-describedby` when supporting text should be announced with the field.

```tsx title="OTP Field with a native label and description"
<div>
  <label htmlFor="verification-code">Verification code</label>
  <OTPField.Root id="verification-code" length={6} aria-describedby="verification-code-description">
    <OTPField.Input />
    <OTPField.Input aria-label="Character 2 of 6" />
    <OTPField.Input aria-label="Character 3 of 6" />
    <OTPField.Input aria-label="Character 4 of 6" />
    <OTPField.Input aria-label="Character 5 of 6" />
    <OTPField.Input aria-label="Character 6 of 6" />
  </OTPField.Root>
  <p id="verification-code-description">Enter the 6-character code we sent to your device.</p>
</div>
```

### Form integration

Use [Field](/react/components/field.md) to handle label associations and form integration:

```tsx title="Using OTP Field in a form" {2}
<Form>
  <Field.Root name="verificationCode">
    <Field.Label>Verification code</Field.Label>
    <Field.Description>Enter the 6-character code we sent to your device.</Field.Description>
    <OTPField.Root length={6}>
      <OTPField.Input />
      <OTPField.Input aria-label="Character 2 of 6" />
      <OTPField.Input aria-label="Character 3 of 6" />
      <OTPField.Input aria-label="Character 4 of 6" />
      <OTPField.Input aria-label="Character 5 of 6" />
      <OTPField.Input aria-label="Character 6 of 6" />
    </OTPField.Root>
  </Field.Root>
</Form>
```

Pass `autoSubmit` to submit the owning form automatically when all slots are filled, or use
`onValueComplete` to react to completion without submitting.

### Alphanumeric verification codes

Use `validationType="alphanumeric"` for recovery, backup, or invite codes that mix letters and
numbers.

### Tailwind

This example shows how to implement the component using Tailwind CSS.

```tsx
/* index.tsx */
import * as React from 'react';
import { OTPField } from '@base-ui/react/otp-field';

const CODE_LENGTH = 6;

export default function OTPFieldAlphanumericDemo() {
  const id = React.useId();
  const descriptionId = `${id}-description`;

  return (
    <div className="flex w-full max-w-80 flex-col items-start gap-1">
      <label htmlFor={id} className="text-sm font-bold text-neutral-950 dark:text-white">
        Recovery code
      </label>
      <OTPField.Root
        id={id}
        length={CODE_LENGTH}
        validationType="alphanumeric"
        aria-describedby={descriptionId}
        className="flex w-full gap-2"
      >
        {Array.from({ length: CODE_LENGTH }, (_, index) => (
          <OTPField.Input
            key={index}
            className="m-0 h-10 w-10 rounded-none border border-neutral-950 bg-white dark:bg-neutral-950 text-center font-inherit text-base font-normal text-neutral-950 focus:outline-2 focus:-outline-offset-1 focus:outline-neutral-950 dark:focus:outline-white dark:border-white dark:text-white"
            aria-label={`Character ${index + 1} of ${CODE_LENGTH}`}
          />
        ))}
      </OTPField.Root>
      <p id={descriptionId} className="m-0 text-sm text-neutral-600 dark:text-neutral-400">
        Accept letters and numbers for backup codes such as{' '}
        <code className="font-mono">A7C9XZ</code>.
      </p>
    </div>
  );
}
```

        <span className={styles.Code}>A7C9XZ</span>.
      </p>
    </div>

### Grouped layouts

Wrap subsets of inputs in your own layout elements and use `<OTPField.Separator>` when you
want the code presented in smaller visual chunks such as `123-456`.

### Placeholder hints

`<OTPField.Input>` is a real input, so native `placeholder` props and CSS work as usual. This
example keeps placeholder hints visible until the active slot receives focus.

            aria-label={`Character ${index + 1} of ${CODE_LENGTH}`}
          />
        ))}
      </OTPField.Root>
      <p id={descriptionId} className="m-0 text-sm text-neutral-600 dark:text-neutral-400">
        Placeholder hints can stay visible until the active slot is focused.

### Custom normalization

Use `normalizeValue` to normalize accepted values before state updates, such as converting
alphanumeric codes to uppercase. It runs after `validationType` filtering, and the result is filtered
against `validationType` again. Use `validationType="none"` when the normalizer should provide the
full validation rule.

Pair custom rules with `inputMode` for keyboard hints and `onValueInvalid` for rejected characters.
