    Using TOTP with Google Authenticator is an excellent way to secure your cryptocurrency wallet. Here's how you can set it up: First, download the Google Authenticator app from the App Store or Google Play Store. Open the app and tap on the '+' button to add a new account. Scan the QR code provided by your wallet provider or manually enter the secret key. Once the account is added, you'll see a 6-digit verification code that changes every 30 seconds. Whenever you want to access your wallet, open the Google Authenticator app and enter the current code. This adds an extra layer of protection to your wallet, making it more difficult for hackers to gain unauthorized access. Remember to keep your secret key and backup codes in a secure place in case you lose your phone or need to set up the app on a new device.
