TOTP Authenticator Apps

Adopt strong possession-based authentication

Build secure and intuitive login experiences with TOTP authenticator apps such as Authy or Google Authenticator. Enact step-up authentication to ensure your users are who they say they are.



What is a TOTP?

A time-based one-time password (or passcode) is a code generated with an algorithm that uses a shared secret and the current time as inputs. A TOTP code changes at set time intervals – usually 30 to 90 seconds – and is very difficult for attackers to compromise.

TOTP does not require users to have new hardware, remember passwords, or even have network connectivity.
