Multi-factor Authentication
One-Time Passwords are generally based on “something you have” (one-time pad, dongle, key, calculator etc.)
Can be combined with reusable passwords (“something you know”) to create two-factor authentication
If someone steals your OTP generator, not so useful if they don't also have your reusable password
Banks use SMS messages etc. for 2 factor auth.
