# Copy Verification Code Authentication Template

The Copy Code Authentication Template allows you to send a one-time password or code along with a copy code button to users. When a WhatsApp user clicks the copy code button,  WhatsApp will copy the password or code to the device's clipboard. The user can then switch to your app and paste the password or code into it.
