Differences and Similarities between Create and Reissue of OTP credential
	Is supported Out Of Box?	Requires a Create Credential to be executed ?	Can an alternate profile other than BasicOTPProfile be used?
CreateOTP operation	Yes	No (When executed a OTP Credential is created and can be executed multiple times)	Yes (if an alternate profile has been created)
Reissue OTP operation	No	Yes (Requires Create Credential before a Reissue)	Yes (if an alternate profile has been created)

 

Similarity - Both Create and Reissue operations allow for an alternate profile to be used (if alternate profile(s) have been  created for an Organization via the Admin UI).

 

Difference - Reissue OTP operation requires that a Create OTP operation was already completed for the OTP credential. If Create OTP credential not done then you will get the below error.
