Offline-Capable App-Based Authentication
Enable time-based one-time passwords with authenticator apps like Google Authenticator and Microsoft Authenticator. No network required — codes rotate every 30 seconds for maximum security.
Why Choose TOTP Authentication
App-based authentication that works anywhere, anytime — even without internet connectivity.
Works Offline
No network connection needed. Codes are generated locally on the user's device using a shared secret.
Authenticator App Compatible
Works with Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, Authy, and any TOTP-compatible app.
QR Code Provisioning
Simple one-time setup — users scan a QR code to link their authenticator app in seconds.
Time-Based Rotation
Codes automatically rotate every 30 seconds using the HMAC-SHA1 algorithm, following RFC 6238.
Phishing Resistant
TOTP codes are device-bound and time-limited, making them significantly harder to intercept or replay.
Recovery Codes
Generate backup recovery codes during setup so users never lose access to their accounts.
How TOTP Works
A simple four-step flow from secret generation to code verification.
Generate Secret
A unique secret key is generated for each user and stored securely. This forms the basis of the TOTP algorithm.
QR Code Scan
Present the secret as a scannable QR code. Users add it to their preferred authenticator app in one tap.
User Enters Code
When authenticating, users enter the 6-digit time-based code currently displayed in their authenticator app.
Server Verifies
Authentica verifies the code against the shared secret and current time window, confirming the user's identity.
Integrate TOTP in Minutes
Our SDK handles secret generation, QR code creation, and verification — so you can add TOTP to your app with just a few lines of code.
Use Cases
TOTP is ideal for scenarios requiring strong, offline-capable authentication.
