TOTP

Time-based One-Time Password

A form of multifactor authentication. In this case, during authentication, after entering the username and password, a time-based password consisting of 6 digits is required as well.
The TOTP code looks like this: 123 456

As the TOTP is generated by another device (e.g. a mobile phone or a tablet), or possibly by software, it further enhances security by ensuring that only you can sign into your personal account.
