Sharing Guild Wars 2 2FA with a team (with Kaito)

  1. In Kaito, go to Tokens → New and add the Guild Wars 2 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 Guild Wars 2 and when.

Note: Guild Wars 2'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.
