We’re excited to announce a powerful new security enhancement, Timed One Time Passwords (TOTP) through an authenticator app for multi-factor authentication! You’ll be able to restrict unauthorized access by requiring a secure one-time password code in addition to your regular login credentials.
This new feature allows you to generate a unique time-sensitive code using popular authentication apps like Google Authenticator, Last Pass, Okta Verify, etc. Authenticator apps generate code changes every 30 seconds for enhanced security. No more waiting for a text or email to come through, you’ll have your code instantly in your authenticator app.
To get started, simply scan the QR code after selecting Authenticator App (TOTP) to set up and start using TOTP with your existing app. Check out our help article, section, “Change or Add Your Authentication Method,” for more information
