Regenerate OTP URIs and QR Codes

reotp

This project is a One Time Passcode (OTP) Regenerator that you can use to regenerate OTP provisioning URIs and QR codes. Useful for transitioning and existing OTP to an new service or app, like Google Authenticator.

Features

• Create and display or save QR codes for your existing OTPs.
• Support for both Time (TOTP) and Counter (HOTP) based OTPs.
• Advanced parameters for OTPs that use non-standard algothms, length, or periods.

Installation

Install using pip, or your preferred python package manager, from pypi:

pip install reotp

If you want to download and tinker, just clone or fork the repo:

git clone https://github.com/cbinckly/reotp.git

Usage

The python package installs a shim, so you can run it from the command line:

$ reotp --help
usage: reotp [-h] -i ISSUER [-s SECRET] [-u USER] [-q] [-f PATH] [-c CURRENT_COUNT]
             [-d DIGITS] [-a ALGORITHM] [-p PERIOD]

Regenerate an existing OTP.

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -i ISSUER, --issuer ISSUER
                        Issuer for TOTP. This is the name that will appear in your app.
  -s SECRET, --secret SECRET
                        Secret for the TOTP. If not provided, requested interactively so
                        you don't leak the secret in shell history.
  -u USER, --user USER  Username for the OTP. If not provided library defaults to
                        'Secret'.
  -q, --qrcode          Display a QR code for the OTP.
  -f PATH, --qrcode-png PATH
                        Write the QR code for the OTP to a file.

Advanced:
  Advanced options that you probably do not need.

  -c CURRENT_COUNT, --counter CURRENT_COUNT
                        Counter based OTP with current count.
  -d {6,8}, --digits {6,8}
                        Number of digits.
  -a ALGORITHM, --algorithm ALGORITHM
                        Hashing algorithm.
  -p PERIOD, --period PERIOD
                        Refresh period in seconds.

reotp -i YourIssuer -s YourSecret -u YourUsername -q -f path/to/your/qr_code.png

• -i or --issuer: (Required) Issuer for the TOTP.
• -s or --secret: (Optional) Secret for the TOTP.
• -u or --user: (Optional) Username for the service.
• -q or --qrcode: (Optional) Display a QR code for the TOTP.
• -f or --qrcode-png: (Optional) Write the QR code to a specified file.
• Advanced options (Optional):

  • -p or --period: Refresh period.

Examples

To generate a TOTP provisioning URI and display a QR code, you would run:

reotp -i ExampleIssuer -s JBSWY3DPEHPK3PXP -u exampleuser -q

To generate an HOTP (counter based) with a current count of 100, using sha256 and a length of seven:

reotp -i MyIssuer -s JBSWY3DPEHPK3PXP -q -a sha256 -l 7 -c 100
