In iOS 12 Apple has introduced feature called Security Code AutoFill.

To use this in your app all you need to do is set UITextField's input view’s textContentType property oneTimeCode. 

otpTextField.textContentType = .oneTimeCode

NOTE: Security Code AutoFill will only works with System Keyboard it will not work with custom keyboard.

When you get OTP it will look something like this:
