Hello guys
a simple question, do you have any good practice on QA automated testing of a UI in the context of a (t)OTP flow ?

for automation, i don't think having someone scan a QR code is a feasible solution,
i thought of alternatives like:
• dedicated TOTP generator (for testing only)
• a fixed code that bypass OTP for testing (dunno of any such dev feature in Kratos)
• making a virtual OTP client (mirroring a phone/an Google authenticator etc.) that actually receive indeed the code in the same env where we run the tests
context: we use playwright for tests
