2FA codes

Use 2FA Codes for authenticator-style TOTP secrets. GitVault stores the secret in the encrypted vault and shows live codes when unlocked.

Add a 2FA code

1. 1
   Open 2FA Codes.

   Use the authenticator area in GitVault.

2. 2
   Add issuer and account.

   Use names you can recognize during login.

3. 3
   Paste the TOTP secret.

   Copy the secret or otpauth link from the service you are protecting.

4. 4
   Save and verify.

   Confirm GitVault shows a live 6-digit code and countdown.

Choose or create a group

Use the group dropdown in the 2FA form. Select an existing group or create a new one from the same control so 2FA organization matches your password organization.

Use a code

1. 1
   Open the 2FA entry.

   Wait for the next code if the countdown is nearly finished.

2. 2
   Copy the code.

   Paste it into the service before the timer resets.

3. 3
   Let clipboard clear.

   Use clipboard auto-clear for safer temporary copying.

Store 2FA inside a password

If the TOTP secret belongs to a login already saved in Passwords, attach it to the password record. That keeps username, password, URL, notes, and live 2FA code together.
