Here I'm explaining to the reader what is two-factor authentication (2FA). Even though 2FA, it's pretty common these days, different websites use different terminology and tools, and I suspect the whole thing to need such an explanation to put less techie readers in context. As such, I prefer referring to the most common and well-know app for TOTP, which seems to be Google Authenticator. We're not recommending to use Google Authenticator in Tails.

Maybe Freeotp+ https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.liberty.android.freeotpplus/ can be a better alternative to Google Authenticator?

You can use *KeePassXC* to generate such one-time codes in Tails. The
technology used to generate these codes is called [[!wikipedia time-based
one-time password]] (TOTP).

Many websites offer two-factor authentication as a safer method than using just a password. For example, you can configure an authentication app, like Google Authenticator, to generate a one-time code of 6 digits when signing in to a website.
