# Enroll a new TOTP factor

`POST /auth/mfa/enroll`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.mnemom.ai/v1`
- URL: `https://api.mnemom.ai/v1/auth/mfa/enroll`
- Auth: one of:
  - API key in cookie `mnemom_session`
  - HTTP bearer

Returns the TOTP secret + provisioning URI for a QR code. Factor starts in `unverified` state until `/auth/mfa/verify` is called against it.

## Request body

- object
  - `friendly_name` string

## Response `200`

Factor enrolled (unverified). Supabase passthrough.

- object
  - `id` string
  - `type` 'totp'
  - `totp` object
    - `qr_code` string: SVG QR code.
    - `secret` string
    - `uri` string, uri

## Other responses

- `400`: Bad request
- `401`: Authentication required
- `403`: Cross-origin write refused (`cross_origin_rejected`). A state-changing request that carries the browser session cookie must come from a first-party origin (`Origin`, or failing that `Referer`) and must not send a form-style body (text/plain, urlencoded, multipart) the operation does not declare. Bearer and API-key callers are never subject to this check.
- `429`: Rate-limit exceeded. The global per-IP limiter (100 requests/minute, applied to every `/v1/*` route) rejected this request. Back off until the window resets — `Retry-After` carries the cooldown in seconds and `X-RateLimit-Reset` the absolute reset time.
- `500`: Server error — request was well-formed but the server failed to fulfill it. Typically a downstream dependency (DB / RPC / external API) returned an unexpected error.
- `503`: An upstream dependency is currently unavailable. The request was not processed; retry after the cooldown window.
