MFA Handling: TOTP Code Generation
Automate MFA completion using TOTP code generation with RFC 6238 compliant algorithm
Get started automating TOTP-based MFA authentication
This template automates Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) completion using Time-based One-Time Password (TOTP) code generation. It implements the RFC 6238 compliant algorithm to generate 6-digit codes programmatically, extracts TOTP secrets from pages, and automatically fills MFA forms without user interaction. The template includes retry logic to handle time window edge cases and automatically regenerates codes when authentication fails. Perfect for automated authentication workflows and zero-touch MFA completion.
Steps
Navigate to the authentication page with TOTP challenge
Extract test credentials (email, password) and TOTP secret from the page
Generate TOTP code using RFC 6238 algorithm (HMAC-SHA1, 30-second windows)
Fill in email and password fields using Stagehand act
Fill in TOTP code field with the generated code
Submit the authentication form
