If you spot any problems or have any improvement ideas then feel free to open an issue and I will be glad to look into it for you.
Installation
A recommended way of installing the tool is pip install.
Once installed, a command line tool otp should be available in your system’s PATH.
pip install
The tool is available in PyPI and can be installed using pip:
$ pip install --user ppotp $ otp --help
Usage
$ otp --help usage: otp [--version] [--help] [--debug] key Tool to generate One-Time Passwords and copy them to clipboard positional arguments: key key or service name from ~/.otpkeys optional arguments: --version show program's version number and exit --help show this help message and exit --debug debugging mode
Examples
$ otp BEXUS3AVCUU7HYU4OZQ44WFXMULPNQB2TKQ4YCNUASPXMPEH6YAZ3IACFM5VEGUQ 770400
Key file ~/.otpkeys
You can save your keys to ~/.otpkeys file using service=key format, for example:
$ cat ~/.otpkeys aws=N5VEJBTUA553BYJTTTUGS3GANKVDECG62RHVIOV2FLYR5THC726ZOIOF4SQZZ5NV google=QYDL7HS7LHPVKX7GGYKYIP3UEYOML2IENWYQD5NHYGETBZIRWWODKQWC3PRNQ3FO facebook=ZBSLA3KGE4PEXCEGIJ57AKJLOHW2S3ABQNOOWZVV3HOO4Q3455BOG6BRNU5M2QK4
Then you can generate OTP, by running:
$ otp {service}
Example:
$ otp aws 443782 $ otp google 760698 $ otp facebook 009176
Auto copy OTP to clipboard
The tool attempts to automatically copy successfully generated code to the clipboard. It uses pyperclip module for cross-platform copying text to the clipboard.
Example:
$ otp cloud 324982
At this point, provided your system supports it, the above OTP should be in the clipboard.
Copy to clipboard issue
Pyperclip uses various mechanisms to copy text to the clipboard. If your system is missing them, you may see a debug message that says:
Pyperclip could not find a copy/paste mechanism for your system. For more information, please visit https://pyperclip.readthedocs.io/en/latest/introduction.html#not-implemented-error
Currently, this error should only appear on Linux (not Windows or Mac).
Please check the above guide for more information on how to fix this.
