TOTP Generator — Test 2FA Codes From a Secret Key

Enter a TOTP secret (the same base32 key an authenticator app scans from a QR code) to generate the current 6-digit code, using the standard time-based one-time password algorithm — useful for testing 2FA integrations without reaching for your phone every time.

How to use TOTP Generator

  1. Enter your base32 TOTP secret.
  2. Read the current 6-digit code, refreshing every 30 seconds.
  3. Use it to test your 2FA integration.

Frequently asked questions

Is this the same algorithm as Google Authenticator?
Yes — TOTP (RFC 6238) is a standard, so any compliant generator, including this one, produces identical codes from the same secret and time.
Should I use this for my real production 2FA secret?
For testing and development, this is convenient. For an account's actual production 2FA secret, a dedicated authenticator app is the safer long-term choice since it is not exposed in a browser tab.
Why did my code not match?
TOTP codes depend on synchronized clocks — check that your device's system time is accurate, since even a small clock drift produces a different code.
