There are not a great many good solutions to generate TOTP tokens on a laptop. 
The one we recommend is [https://keepassxc.org/ KeepassXC]

== Installation ==
Please refer to the [https://keepassxc.org/download download and install] section of the KeepassXC website for your OS.

== Configure TOTP ==
TOTP is mostly used in combination with a smartphone. Therefore, most sites generate a QR code that encodes a TOTP secret in your mobile TOTP application. 
To be able to use a TOTP generator on your laptop, we need to copy the secret.
=== Find your TOTP secret on your mobile phone===
Open your TOTP mobile app. For each site that this app manages, you see an entry. Per site, you will see three dots in the upper right corner. 
Click and choose 'edit account' 
There you will find the secret key. 
Copy this key and send it to your laptop.

=== Add secret to your Keepass vault ===
Open Keepass and create a new database if you do not have one already. A Keepass Database is meant to store your passwords. However, we recommend to keep your passwords and TOTP tokens in separate applications. If you choose to use Keepass for both, then make a separate database for both and use different passwords to lock the different databases 
Once you have a database, add a new entry (entries -> new entry) 
Add the basic information (TOTP cannot yet be added in this stage) and push OK.
