You can now use Google Authenticator and any TOTP app for Two-Factor Authentication

What's this blog post about?

Cloudflare has expanded its two-factor authentication options, allowing users to use Google Authenticator or any Time-based One Time Password (TOTP) app of their choice. This feature is crucial for account security as it prevents unauthorized access even if passwords are compromised. Two-factor authentication uses a second factor, such as a code generated by an app, in addition to the user's password. Cloudflare has implemented an open TOTP integration, enabling users to choose from various apps like Symantec, Duo Mobile, and 1Password for secure login.
