How do you handle MFA when testing your apps?

MFA is great for security, but man, it’s a pain when you’re testing. Do you just disable it in your dev environment (and hope no one yells at you), or do you have some clever tricks to keep it active without making life miserable?

For example, managing SMS or TOTP codes during automated tests can feel like juggling flaming swords. I’m curious—what’s your go-to setup for handling MFA in your test workflows? Do you have any tools or hacks that make it easier?
