Authenticator - 2FA + TOTP
2FA (or two-factor authentication) is a security feature that requires a user to provide two forms of identification before they can access a system or application. This is typically achieved by requiring a password and a time-based one-time password (TOTP) generated by an app on a mobile device. This prevents unauthorized access to accounts even if an attacker has obtained the user’s password.
Mailinator Authenticator is specifically designed to test the functionality of 2FA codes.
Mailinator Authenticator (affectionately known as "Authenticatorinator") is designed to assist in testing 2FA functionality in applications. It uses the standard TOTP algorithm (just like Authy and Google Authenticator), which generate 2FA codes for personal accounts. Developers and testers can use these codes to simulate the 2FA process in their applications, ensuring that the system works as intended.
Authenticator is also via our API. In fact our API will return the next 5 codes generate by the authenticator.
