Our user base has diverse preferences and needs, and we want to understand the range of authenticator apps compatible with FusionAuth's TOTP implementation.
Could you provide a comprehensive list of all authenticator apps that FusionAuth's TOTP feature supports? Specifically, apart from Google Authenticator, does FusionAuth work with apps like Authy, Microsoft Authenticator, and LastPass Authenticator?

FusionAuth's TOTP implementation is compatible with most popular authenticator apps that follow the industry-standard TOTP algorithm, specifically those using HMACSHA1. While we cannot provide an exhaustive list, here are some commonly used authenticator apps that are known to work with FusionAuth:
- Google Authenticator
- Authy
- Microsoft Authenticator
- LastPass Authenticator
- 1Password
Compatibility Check:
If an authenticator app does not support FusionAuth’s TOTP, it will simply fail to recognize the QR code when scanned.
Documentation Reference:
For more details about FusionAuth's TOTP implementation and requirements, refer to the FusionAuth TOTP Documentation.
Most users should have no issues using any modern TOTP-based authenticator app.
