Add this test account to 2FA Live. The code in the app should match the code here, digit for digit, and both should change at the same moment. The test key never changes, so you can come back and compare again at any time.

  1. Copy the setup link above.
  2. In 2FA Live, tap + and choose Enter Key Manually.
  3. Paste into the secret key field. The app fills in the name, algorithm, digits and period for you. Then tap Save.

Prefer to type it? Enter "2FA Live Test" as the name and copy the setup key into the secret key field. Spaces are fine. If you chose other code types above, open Advanced and set the same algorithm, digits and period.

You can also tap Save QR image, then in the scanner choose From Photos.

This is a public test key that protects nothing, and everything is calculated in your browser. Delete the test account from the app when you are done: on the free plan it uses one of your 5 accounts.
