In a few weeks I'll do a workshop about security for people who are tech illiterate, I plan to teach about password managers and 2FA.

If I show the 2FA number codes, like the 123 456 ones that I have to paste when required, can that be a possible security breach for me? or is it save since is gonna change in a few seconds anyway?

    I'd probably edit a few example screenshots for a purpose like that.

    If you really want to show it live on an actual device, then maybe with a throwaway/dummy account

    I would assume there aren't any security concerns as:

    • You are not showing the seed used to generate the actual codes
    • this is for non tech-savy users

    Unless there's a super hacker or NSA agent in the class that can figure out your password in real time.. You should be fine doing that.
