2FA authentication codes

Using Enpass for two-factor authentication codes

When setting up two-factor authentication (2FA) on most websites or apps, you’re provided a QR code to scan for a secret key (with an option to copy that key as text). Enpass can save these keys to generate authenticator codes (also called time-based one-time passwords, or TOTP), which provide far better security than receiving similar codes by text or email.

When logging into your accounts protected by 2FA, Enpass can autofill these codes, which eliminates the need for a separate authenticator app.

To add an authenticator code for an exiting Item in Enpass:

1. In the Item Details view and click on the menu bar.

2. Find the One-time code field, and enter the secret key provided by your website or app.

   

3. Click Save to save your changes.

If you don’t find a One-time code field:

1. In the Additional Details header, click to add a new field.

2. Enter a name for the new field (e.g., “One-time code” or “Authenticator code”).

3. In the Field Type drop-down, select One-time Code, then Save.

4. In the new field, enter the secret key provided by the site or app, as described above.

5. Click Save to save your changes.
