In Visual Guard, TOTP (Time-based One-Time Password) via Microsoft Authenticator provides an additional layer of security for user authentication. Users can set up their Microsoft Authenticator app to generate time-based, one-time passwords that refresh every 30 seconds. During the login process, users enter the current TOTP displayed on their Microsoft Authenticator app to verify their identity. This method ensures a secure and dynamic form of authentication, as the OTP is time-sensitive and unique to each login attempt.
