Legal

Terms of use

The conditions for using 2FAOTP's educational content and browser-based authenticator.

Effective date: 25 July 2026

Permitted use

You may use 2FAOTP for lawful personal or business purposes involving accounts and authentication material you own or are explicitly authorised to manage. You may not use it to facilitate unauthorised access, evade security controls, disrupt the service, or harm another person.

No account-recovery service

2FAOTP generates a code only when supplied with the correct secret and configuration. It cannot discover a missing secret, bypass two-factor authentication, recover an external account, or verify your identity to another service.

Your responsibility

You are responsible for protecting your devices, secrets, recovery codes, passwords, and account sessions; verifying that you are using the intended domain; keeping device time accurate; and maintaining an independent recovery method. Do not treat a web utility as the sole permanent copy of a critical authentication secret.

Availability and information

The service and editorial material are provided on an as-available basis. Security guidance is general information, not legal, compliance, financial, or professional consulting. Features, external standards, and third-party services can change.

Intellectual property and links

Original site content, interface design, and branding are protected by applicable law. References to third-party products do not imply affiliation or endorsement. External sites operate under their own terms and policies.

Production legal review

These terms are a sound product draft, not a substitute for jurisdiction- specific legal review. The operator must add its legal identity, governing law, liability language, and required consumer disclosures before launch.
