Time-based one-time password (TOTP) authentication works by using an authenticatior app, such as Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator, which generates a secret code shared between the app and a website. When you log in to the website, you enter your username, password, and the secret code generated from the authenticator app. The secret code is only valid for a short period of time, about 30 to 60 seconds, before a new code is generated.
