## Description

HISTORY Code is a Chrome extension that strengthens your business account security by adding a second authentication layer. It generates time-based one-time passwords (TOTP) directly within your browser, complementing your traditional password and making unauthorized access nearly impossible. The extension supports QR-code scanning to add security tokens, reset token states, and speeds up code entry for enterprise users. Compatible with popular QR code libraries like qrcode, qr-image, and react-native-qrcode-svg, it integrates seamlessly with your corporate authentication system, ideal for enhancing private corporate security with convenient yet robust two-factor authentication.
