Note

Low Risk
Low risk doc-only change that clarifies Managed Auth behavior around TOTP entry retries; no product logic or APIs are modified.

Overview
Documents that Managed Auth will automatically retry TOTP entry with a fresh code when the original code expires or times out.

Updates the TOTP guidance in auth/faq.mdx and the feature bullet in auth/overview.mdx to reflect this auto-retry behavior.

Risk assessment: Very Low.

Evidence from the actual diff:

• Only two documentation files changed: auth/faq.mdx and auth/overview.mdx
• Scope is two sentence-level wording updates about TOTP auto-retry behavior
• No application code, config, infra, auth logic, tests, or dependencies were modified

Blast radius is limited to documentation text, so this is safe to approve.

Looks good — clear, consistent additions documenting the TOTP auto-retry behavior across both pages.
