+By default, versions of FreeBSD prior to 14.x include support for One-time Passwords In Everything (OPIE).

+[NOTE]
+====
+OPIE is no longer considered secure and has been removed from FreeBSD
+-CURRENT; it will not be available from 14.x onwards. If you wish to use
+OPIE on versions of FreeBSD later than 13.x, the package:security/opie[] is
+available, though not recommended.

 OPIE is designed to prevent replay attacks, in which an attacker discovers a user's password and uses it to access a system.
 Since a password is only used once in OPIE, a discovered password is of little use to an attacker.
 OPIE uses a secure hash and a challenge/response system to manage passwords.
