gacli
gacli was created for used with google-authenticator. Thankfully, TOTP is an open standard so gacli may have additional applications.
The ga command line utility provides convenient access to TOTP verification codes:
usage: ga [-h] [-d] [-f FILE] Copy newline terminated TOTP verification code to Mac OS X clipboard. optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit -d, --debug print debug information -f FILE, --file FILE Secret file The debug option continually prints verification codes instead of copying a single code to the clipboard.
