# 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>
);
}
```

}
}
```
```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.
## 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 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>
);
}
```
### CSS Modules

}
```
```tsx
/* index.tsx */
import * as React from 'react';
import { OTPField } from '@base-ui/react/otp-field';
import styles from './index.module.css';
const CODE_LENGTH = 6;
export default function OTPFieldAlphanumericDemo() {
const id = React.useId();
const descriptionId = `${id}-description`;
return (
<div className={styles.Field}>
<label htmlFor={id} className={styles.Label}>
Recovery code
</label>
<OTPField.Root
id={id}
length={CODE_LENGTH}
validationType="alphanumeric"
aria-describedby={descriptionId}
className={styles.Root}
>
{Array.from({ length: CODE_LENGTH }, (_, index) => (
<OTPField.Input
key={index}
className={styles.Input}
aria-label={`Character ${index + 1} of ${CODE_LENGTH}`}
/>
))}
</OTPField.Root>
<p id={descriptionId} className={styles.Description}>
Accept letters and numbers for backup codes such as{' '}
<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`.
## Demo
### Tailwind

export default function OTPFieldGroupedDemo() {
const id = React.useId();
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} className="flex w-full items-center gap-2">
<div className="flex gap-2">
{Array.from({ length: 3 }, (_, index) => (
<OTPField.Input

aria-label={`Character ${index + 1} of ${OTP_LENGTH}`}
/>
))}
</div>
<OTPField.Separator className="h-px w-4 bg-current text-neutral-950 dark:text-white" />
<div className="flex gap-2">
{Array.from({ length: 3 }, (_, index) => (
<OTPField.Input
key={index + 3}
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 + 4} of ${OTP_LENGTH}`}
/>
))}
</div>
</OTPField.Root>
</div>
);
}
```

aria-label={`Character ${index + 1} of ${OTP_LENGTH}`}
/>
))}
</div>

aria-label={`Character ${index + 4} of ${OTP_LENGTH}`}
/>
))}
</div>
</OTPField.Root>
</div>
);
}
```
### 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.

export default function OTPFieldFocusedPlaceholderDemo() {
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={CODE_LENGTH}
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 placeholder:text-neutral-500 focus:outline-2 focus:-outline-offset-1 focus:outline-neutral-950 dark:focus:outline-white focus:placeholder:text-transparent dark:border-white dark:text-white dark:placeholder:text-neutral-400"
placeholder="•"
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">

```
### 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.

## API reference
### Root
Groups all OTP field parts and manages their state.
Renders a `<div>` element.
**Root Props:**
| Prop | Type | Default | Description |
| :-------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | :---------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| name | `string` | - | Identifies the field when a form is submitted. |
| defaultValue | `string` | - | The uncontrolled OTP value when the component is initially rendered. |
| value | `string` | - | The OTP value. |
| onValueChange | `((value: string, eventDetails: OTPField.Root.ChangeEventDetails) => void)` | - | Callback fired when the OTP value changes. The `eventDetails.reason` indicates what triggered the change: `'input-change'` for typing or autofill`'input-clear'` when a character is removed by text input`'input-paste'` for paste interactions`'keyboard'` for keyboard interactions that change the value |
| autoComplete | `string` | `'one-time-code'` | The input autocomplete attribute. Applied to the first slot and hidden validation input. |
| autoSubmit | `boolean` | `false` | Whether to submit the owning form when the OTP becomes complete. |
| form | `string` | - | A string specifying the `form` element with which the hidden input is associated.
This string's value must match the id of a `form` element in the same document. |
| inputMode | `'none' \| 'text' \| 'tel' \| 'url' \| 'email' \| 'numeric' \| 'decimal' \| 'search'` | - | The virtual keyboard hint applied to the slot inputs and hidden validation input. Built-in validation modes provide sensible defaults, but you can override them when needed. |
| length\* | `number` | - | The number of OTP input slots.
Required so the root can clamp values, detect completion, and generate
consistent validation markup before all slots hydrate. |
| mask | `boolean` | `false` | Whether the slot inputs should mask entered characters.
Pass `type` directly to individual `<OTPField.Input>` parts to use a custom
input type. |
| normalizeValue | `((value: string) => string)` | - | Function that normalizes the OTP value after whitespace and `validationType` filtering.
It runs whenever OTP Field normalizes a value, including initial/default values, controlled
values, and user edits. The returned value is filtered by `validationType` again, then clamped to `length`.
It should be idempotent because OTP Field may normalize the same value more than once while
handling edits, storing state, and rendering controlled or uncontrolled values. Non-idempotent
normalizers can compound across those normalization passes. Characters rejected while
normalizing typed or pasted text are reported through `onValueInvalid`. |
| onValueComplete | `((value: string, eventDetails: OTPField.Root.CompleteEventDetails) => void)` | - | Callback function that is fired when the OTP value becomes complete, or when a complete value
is pasted while the OTP is already complete. When the value changes, it runs later than `onValueChange`, after the internal value update is
applied. If a complete pasted value matches the current value, `onValueChange` does not fire. If `autoSubmit` is enabled, it runs immediately before the owning form is submitted. |
| onValueInvalid | `((value: string, eventDetails: OTPField.Root.InvalidEventDetails) => void)` | - | Callback fired when entered text contains characters that are rejected by validation or
normalization before the OTP value updates. The `value` argument is the attempted user-entered string before normalization. |
| validationType | `OTPField.Root.ValidationType` | `'numeric'` | The type of input validation to apply to the OTP value. |
| disabled | `boolean` | `false` | Whether the component should ignore user interaction. |
| readOnly | `boolean` | `false` | Whether the user should be unable to change the field value. |
| required | `boolean` | `false` | Whether the user must enter a value before submitting a form. |
| id | `string` | - | The id of the first input element.
Subsequent inputs derive their ids from it (`{id}-2`, `{id}-3`, and so on). |
| className | `string \| ((state: OTPField.Root.State) => string \| undefined)` | - | CSS class applied to the element, or a function that
returns a class based on the component's state. |
| style | `React.CSSProperties \| ((state: OTPField.Root.State) => React.CSSProperties \| undefined)` | - | Style applied to the element, or a function that
returns a style object based on the component's state. |
| render | `ReactElement \| ((props: HTMLProps, state: OTPField.Root.State) => ReactElement)` | - | Allows you to replace the component's HTML element
with a different tag, or compose it with another component. Accepts a `ReactElement` or a function that returns the element to render. |
**Root Data Attributes:**
| Attribute | Type | Description |
| :------------ | :--- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| data-disabled | - | Present when the OTP field is disabled. |
| data-readonly | - | Present when the OTP field is readonly. |
| data-required | - | Present when the OTP field is required. |
| data-valid | - | Present when the OTP field is in a valid state (when wrapped in Field.Root). |
| data-invalid | - | Present when the OTP fi
