# Using Programmable TOTP tokens with RapidIdentity

### Programmable TOTP Tokens

This article documents requirements for using RapidIdentity with programmable seed tokens and steps for using a Token2 programmable token with the RapidIdentity TOTP authentication method. **Note:** This is an example use-case, RapidIdentity cloud is agnostic towards TOTP brands that support programmable seed files.

#### Requirements:

- RapidIdentity Cloud Authentication
- Programmable TOTP Tokens(Unsure? Reach out to your Support for Assistance)
- an compatible NFC reader, and seed programing software

### Programming Tokens for Use with RapidIdentity Cloud (End-User/ and Administrator Proxy Enrollment)

1. Create an Authentication policy that enforces TOTP on the designated User(s)
  1. See more about creating [Authentication](/v1/docs/authentication) policies and [User Preferences for Authentication Methods](/v1/docs/configure-user-preferences-for-authentication-methods) for RapidIdentity
