Synthetic monitoring supports many authentication methods for your applications.

First-factor authentication methods:

Authentication Method	Description
Username and password	Supported using Credential Vault
Single sign-on (SSO)	You can store the credentials in the Credential Vault. Then, use the SSO URL and the credentials in the script.
Passkey	Store the passkey in the Credential Vault. Then, use the passkey in the script.
Certificate-based authentication	Use the Credential Vault to store the certificate.
Microsoft AD	Create a service account in Microsoft AD. Then, use the service account in the script.

Multi-factor authentication methods:

SMS
Email
Azure AD

Time-based One-time password (TOTP):
You can use the pyotp libraries for Web Monitoring and otplib for API Monitoring. The following is an example of how to use these libraries:

import time
import pyotp
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait

TOTP_SECRET = '<%totp_secret%>'

# Initialize the TOTP generator
totp = pyotp.TOTP(TOTP_SECRET)


# Generate the current TOTP code and send it to OTP field
totp_code = totp.now()
auth_field=wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.ID, 'app_totp')))
auth_field.send_keys(totp_code)

const { totp } = require('otplib')

// Replace these with your actual values
const apiUrl = 'https://api.github.com/user';
const personalAccessToken = '<%TOKEN-IN-CREDENTIALS-VAULT%>';
const totpSecret = '<%base64-secret-stored-in-secrets%>';

// Generate TOTP code
const totpCode = totp.generate(totpSecret);

async function callGitHubApiWithMfa() {
  try {
    var response = await client.get(apiUrl, {
      headers: {
        'Authorization': `token ${personalAccessToken}`,
        'X-GitHub-OTP': totpCode
      }
    });

    console.log('API Response:', response.body);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error calling GitHub API:', error.response ? error.response.data : error.message);
  }
}

callGitHubApiWithMfa();
