How to automate MFA OTP with Playwright, TS, Speakeasy

Описание: 🔐 When I first encountered automating Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) with OTP, I thought: "There's no way to automate this smoothly!" 🤯 OTP changes every 30 seconds, that was the initial catch to it lol.

Fast forward to today—I've got a simple, repeatable method to automate MFA OTP reliably using Playwright 🎭, TypeScript 📘, and Speakeasy 🔑. In this video, I'll walk you through exactly how you can achieve this too, step-by-step.

You'll learn:
✅ How to easily generate OTP codes with Speakeasy.
✅ Setting up Playwright and TypeScript for seamless automation.
✅ Verifying OTP codes programmatically to enhance your tests.

Say goodbye 👋 to manual OTP input and unstable tests. With this standard approach, you'll handle MFA OTP like a pro in no time.

Let's dive in! 🚀

❌ For an unknown reason this test keeps on failing SPECIFICALLY in Github Actions.
However, I've never encountered this on the real job.
But if you wanna solve it - feel free to 😊
