# Create

> Create a TOTP instance using the Stytch Next.js SDK

Wraps the [Create TOTP](/docs/api-reference/consumer/api/totp/create.md) endpoint. Call this method to create a new TOTP instance for a user. The user can use the authenticator application of their choice to scan the returned QR code or enter the returned secret.

> [!NOTE]
>
> If a user has enrolled another MFA method, this method will require MFA. See the [Multi-factor Authentication](/docs/api-reference/consumer/frontend-sdks/nextjs/resources/multi-factor-authentication.md) section for more details.

## Parameters

**expiration\_minutes** `int`

The expiration for the TOTP instance. If the newly created TOTP is not authenticated within this time frame the TOTP will be unusable. Defaults to 1440 (1 day) with a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 1440.

## Response
