# Enable TOTP (Time-based one-time password)

Some websites/programs allow the use of TOTP as an extra layer of security to authenticate. This article will show you how to do that with 1password. In this example I will be using discord.

1. Login to your desired app as per normal and look for anywhere that says MFA or authenticator app. [![image.png](https://bookstack.pbr.org.au/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/scaled-1680-/ZQzimage.png)](https://bookstack.pbr.org.au/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/ZQzimage.png)
2. Follow the prompts until the website/app displays a QR code. [![image.png](https://bookstack.pbr.org.au/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/scaled-1680-/Tv8image.png)](https://bookstack.pbr.org.au/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/Tv8image.png)
3. Open 1pass in the browser extension, click the 3 dots and select "scan QR code". [![image.png](https://bookstack.pbr.org.au/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/scaled-1680-/8mEimage.png)](https://bookstack.pbr.org.au/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/8mEimage.png)
4. The new TOTP will appear in 1pass, here we can use it to activate it. [![image.png](https://bookstack.pbr.org.au/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/scaled-1680-/QAhimage.png)](https://bookstack.pbr.org.au/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/QAhimage.png)
5. The process to find MFA will differ from website to website, but the 1pass activation with the QR code will be the same.
