Public visitors can read this workflow page; creation stays inside account-controlled product surfaces.

Direct answer

Share MFA setup details securely by using an expiring protected share rather than sending authenticator QR codes or TOTP secrets as screenshots in chat.

What to avoid

  • Sending authenticator QR screenshots through chat.
  • Saving TOTP seed images in camera rolls or synced folders.
  • Leaving MFA setup details in onboarding documents.

Safer workflow

  1. 1 Use the authenticated MFA sharing workflow when available.
  2. 2 Limit access to the person taking over setup.
  3. 3 Set a short expiration and view limit.
  4. 4 Confirm enrollment and remove obsolete setup material.
