| # Enable QR code generation for TOTP authenticator apps in ASP.NET Core | ||

||
| ASP.NET Core ships with support for authenticator applications for individual authentication. Two factor authentication (2FA) authenticator apps, using a Time-based One-time Password Algorithm (TOTP), are the industry recommended approach for 2FA. 2FA using TOTP is preferred to SMS 2FA. An authenticator app provides a 6 to 8 digit code which users must enter after confirming their username and password. Typically an authenticator app is installed on a smartphone. | ||

Can this be converted into a table and/or the sentences be shortened? I found it hard to follow.

Good idea, I updated it as a list after comparing a table and list. More readible now. Thanks!
