Sharing Barclays [UK] 2FA with a team (with Kaito)

Kaito gives you a vault for shared TOTP and a real-time inbox for shared SMS, with per-token group permissions and an audit log on every code view. To share Barclays [UK] access with your team:

1. In Kaito, go to Tokens → New and add the Barclays [UK] 2FA seed (or scan the QR).
2. Permission the token to a group: code-only for most teammates, full-seed only for the admins who would handle rotation.
3. Stream the audit log to your SIEM if you want a complete record of which team members generated codes for Barclays [UK] and when.

Note: Barclays [UK]'s terms on account sharing are unclear or grey-area. Many teams share access in practice; doing so via Kaito gives you a clean audit trail if it ever becomes a question.
