Many of us are enjoying the summer months with vacations, warm weather, and a well-deserved refresh. At StrongDM we continue to think of ways to build capabilities that delight and help our customers reach their access management aspirations.

TOTP Documentation can be found here. Are there other MFA options that you need supported? Let the product team know here.
