What Are Time-Based One-Time Passwords (TOTP)?
Keeping accounts secure requires more than just a strong password. Even the most complex phrases can be stolen through phishing attacks or data breaches. This challenge led to the creation of two-factor authentication (2FA), and one of the most reliable forms of 2FA is the Time-based One-time Password (TOTP). TOTP provides a frequently changing, temporary code that acts as a second lock on your sensitive accounts, making it vastly harder for unauthorized people to gain access.
