  13. Tap Save in the top-right corner of your screen.

    The new item is saved to your personal safe; or to a Team and collection if selected.

Generate TOTP Codes

Websites that support time-based one-time passwords (TOTPs) using an authenticator handle the setup differently. Start from the website/service that you are accessing (e.g. google.com, github.com).

Note

TOTP is a common form of two-factor authentication (2FA) that generates a temporary code that changes at a fixed interval, typically every 30 or 60 seconds.

Bravura Safe can initiate TOTP generation three ways:

  • From a Bravura Safe browser extension by scanning a QR code from the desired website/service

  • From a Bravura Safe mobile app by scanning a QR code from the desired website/service

  • From any Bravura Safe application by manually entering the website/service's authenticator key

Bravura Safe authenticator continuously generates six-digit TOTPs rotated every 30 seconds.

Scan a QR code - browser extension

To set up the Bravura Safe authenticator using a browser extension:

  1. From the desired web account, initiate adding TOTP for multi-factor authentication.

    A QR code will likely be displayed.

  2. Open a Bravura Safe browser extension.

  3. Search or filter to locate the login item for which you want to generate TOTPs.

  4. Select the item to view it.

  5. Click Edit at top right.

  6. Click the camera icon next to the Authenticator key (TOTP) field.

    Bravura Safe scans the QR code and adds the secret to the Authenticator key (TOTP) field.

  7. Click Save to start generation of TOTPs on the login item.

Bravura Safe authenticator continuously generates six-digit TOTPs rotated every 30 seconds.

Scan a QR code - mobile app

To set up the Bravura Safe authenticator using a mobile app:

  1. From the desired web account, initiate adding TOTP for multi-factor authentication.

    A QR code will likely be displayed.

Manually enter an authenticator key

To manually enter an authenticator key using any Bravura Safe client:

  1. From the desired website account:

    1. Initiate adding multi-factor authentication (MFA) via time-based one-time password (TOTP).

      A QR code will likely be displayed.

    2. Instead of scanning the QR code, select the alternative/manual TOTP setup method (usually a link or option provided under the QR code).

    3. Copy the displayed authenticator key to your local device clipboard.

  2. Open the desired Bravura Safe client (browser extension/web interface/desktop application/mobile app).

    2. Select the item to view it.

    3. Click or tap Edit.

    4. Locate the Authenticator key (TOTP) field.

      Note

      For the mobile app: Under Authenticator key (TOTP), tap Set up TOTP.

      Then, tap the Enter key manually link at the bottom of the screen.

      Tap Add TOTP.

      Paste the copied Authenticator Key for the desired website/service to the required field.

    5. Paste or enter the copied Authenticator Key for the desired website/service to the required field.

    6. Click or tap Save to start generation of TOTPs.

Bravura Safe authenticator continuously generates six-digit TOTPs rotated every 30 seconds.

Login item URLs

Login items can have one or more Uniform Resource Locators / Identifiers (URLs/URIs) and include the following:

  • Website address

  • Server IP address

  • Mobile app package ID

  • and more...

A URL is required to use auto-fill with Bravura Safe apps.

URLs should include a scheme; for example, https:// to securely reference a website address.

  • If none is specified, http:// is assumed.

  • Without a scheme, launching will not work properly.
