The TOTP authenticator allows you to authenticate a user using Time-Based One Time Password (TOTP) through WSO2 Identity Server. It uses the TOTP specification to calculate the access tokens based on the time and the shared secret key between the user and the identity provider.

TOTP is a temporary passcode, generated by an algorithm, for use in authenticating access to computer systems. The algorithm that generates each password uses the current time of day as one of its factors, ensuring that each password is unique.
