TOTP Two-Factor Authentication is a security method that uses a time-based one-time password (TOTP) as the second step in verifying your identity. After entering your password, you open an authenticator app (like Google Authenticator or Authy) on your phone, which generates a 6-digit code that changes every 30 seconds. You enter that code to complete the login. This adds an extra layer of protection, even if your password is compromised.
