TOTP
TOTP is a standard method for one time code generation, defined in RFC 6238, and used by many commercial services. TOTP app has a shared secret with the server and generates time-constrained numerical codes based on that secret. The most common setting is with 6 digits and validity of 30 seconds.

You may know this method by many alternative names, including “code from verification app”, “verification code”, “authentication code”, “code from authentication app”, “6 digit code from code generator”, “code from Google Authenticator” or “verification code from the Google Authenticator app”. The advantage of this method is its versatility - you can copy the one time code from the app in your smartphone to another app, type it on your PC or even a smart TV. The only requirement that the device you want to authenticate on needs to fulfil is the capability to enter digits. You can use any TOTP app, for example one of those listed below. Alternatively you can use the TOTP capability of your password manager (e.g. BitWarden or LastPass Authenticator). If you already have a TOTP app installed, you do not have to install another one, you can just add MUNI Unified Login. |
