Installation
------------

This application is properly running on debian stretch in python3 virtual
environement::

$ python3 -m venv koptvenv
$ source ./kotpvenv/bin/activate

This requiere ``xclip`` on your computer to temporary put the secret in
your clipboard at the end of the program the initial value is back in your
clipboard::

$ apt install xclip

.. note::

If you are using ``-o`` option (console output) the app won't complaints
if xclip is not there.

Install using your favorite installer. For example::

$ pip install keyring-otp

-----
Usage
-----

use ``-h`` to get recent help::

$ kotp -h
usage: kotp [-h] [-s SECRET] [-o] [-d DURATION] keyring key

CLI to generate One Time Password from secrets stored in Keyring (using
seahorse password manager)

positional arguments:
keyring
key

optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-s SECRET, --secret SECRET
Force using secret from command line instead getting
it from the password manager. (as keyring and key are
mandatory set any values they will be ignored).
-o, --output Display output in console and in the clipboard (useful
if you can't install xclip).
-d DURATION, --duration DURATION
How many seconds you wants the One Time Password in
your clipboard. Note that as time is changing, the
TOTP password will be updated and your clipboard will
be updated too!

Let's assume I've a keyring called ``otp`` which contains a key called github
wich contains my github otp password.

:alt: Seahorse Gnome password manager

To get the Time based OTP password in my clipboad I do::

$ kotp otp github

.. note::

At the time writting the ``otp`` keyring must be unlock before running
the application.

Here an other example by giving the OTP password value in command line::

$ kotp -s SECRETS -o -d 35 nothing real
Current TOTP 887562 at Wed Nov 8 07:48:18 2017
Current TOTP 291833 at Wed Nov 8 07:48:30 2017


.. warning::

This option is discouraged as long your OTP secret will be in your bash
history, we may remove this option to replace it with a prompt in the
future


-------
Roadmap
-------

* Setup CI
* First release
* make it usable as an API, API consumer may add multiple callback they should
be called once OTP as benn changed (callback may be declared in entry point
to let user define new callback easly), this apps should declare some
default behaviours likes:
- print in console
- filling clipboard (require an init method and final method to set back
current clipboad value)
* Prompt to unlock keyring
* Thinking replace ``-s`` option to let user use
* use python keyring to make this app portable with more password manager:
GnomeKeyring (for Gnome environments) or KDEWallet (for KDE environments)
or Win32CryptoRegistry (for Windows)
* manage passman backends
* save new secrets
