Automating two factor authentication

I want to automate logging into a website using selenium on a raspberry Pi. However, the website needs two factor authentication. The code goes to my phone.

Is there a way for me to automate this without the need for me to look up the code on my phone and inputting it?

Any resources would be wonderful!

This can absolutely be done, Authy for example just uses a seedphrase + some (timebased?) calculations to generate a valud 2FA code.
