Time-based tokens (TOTP – Time-based One-Time Passwords) generate a temporary code that changes at regular intervals. They meet the requirements because: Works across SaaS and internal applications – Many systems support TOTP for multifactor authentication. Device manufacturer agnostic – Tokens can be generated on any device with a compatible app (e.g., Google Authenticator, Authy). Offline capabilities – Codes can be generated without an internet connection, unlike SMS or push notifications. ✅
Time-based Tokens is the One-Time Password (OTP) used in two-factor authentication (2FA) systems. When you enable 2FA for your online accounts, you often receive a temporary code via SMS or an authentication app that expires after a short period (usually 30 seconds to a few minutes). time-based tokens, like those generated by authentication apps (e.g., Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator), can work offline. These apps use a shared secret key and the current time to generate a unique OTP (One-Time Password) that doesn't require an internet connection.
