    Of course can you use KeePass and apps that utilize kdbx files as a TOTP generator. Just read it up.

    Keepass2Android supports TOTP. The better thing is, TOTP seed works with desktop applications too. Therefore, you need only one database for desktop and mobile devices. Also, built-in Keepass keyboard allows autofill all inputs from one place, you don't need to switch between applications.
