Can an online 2FA generator replace my authenticator app?

Online generators are useful for tests and debugging, but should not replace a trusted authenticator for real accounts.

Short answer

No for normal account protection. A browser generator can help with test secrets or debugging, but real account secrets should live in a trusted authenticator or hardware-backed setup.

What to do next
