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?

Unless there's a super hacker or NSA agent in the class that can figure out your password in real time.. You should be fine doing that.

So NSA agents are the equivalent of super hackers?
