What is time based token?
Time Based One Time Password (TOTP, OTP) TOTPs are derived from a secret seed password given at user registration in the form of QR code or in plaintext. TOTPs (and their seeds) are deployed on either hardware security tokens or as soft tokens, meaning mobile device apps that display the numbers.

How does token-based authentication work in SolarWinds?
As part of the login process, users receive a cryptographically secure one-time passcode that is time-limited to 30 or 60 seconds, depending on the settings at the server end. These soft tokens are generated either by an authenticator app on the device or sent on demand via SMS.
How often can I activate oath tokens in azure?
You can activate a maximum of 200 OATH tokens every 5 minutes. Users may have a combination of up to five OATH hardware tokens or authenticator applications, such as the Microsoft Authenticator app, configured for use at any time. Hardware OATH tokens cannot be assigned to guest users in the resource tenant.
What does it mean when a server issues a token?
With token authentication, a secondary service verifies a server request. When verification is complete, the server issues a token and responds to the request. The user may still have one password to remember, but the token offers another form of access that’s much harder to steal or overcome.
