In a few weeks I'll do a workshop about security for people who are tech illiterate, I plan to teach about password managers and 2FA.

If I show the 2FA number codes, like the 123 456 ones that I have to paste when required, can that be a possible security breach for me? or is it save since is gonna change in a few seconds anyway?

it's unlikely they are going to be able to bruteforce your 2FA codes in the duration of the class, so just change them back once you're done with the class?

or record the video showing the whole process. change the code, show the video you recorded before the change
