Installation

pip install -U simple-otp

Usage Example

import os
from time import sleep
from simpleotp import OTP

SECRET_KEY = os.getenv('SECRET')

otp_handler = OTP(SECRET_KEY,
                  length=6,
                  expires_after=2,
                  user_identifier='kshitij.nagvekar@workindia.in')

# generate OTP - returns OTP and hash
otp, sig = otp_handler.generate()
print(otp, sig)

# verify OTP - correct OTP and hash passed to verify method
is_verified = otp_handler.verify(otp, sig)
print(is_verified) # returns True

# verify OTP - incorrect hardcoded OTP passed to verify method 
is_verified = otp_handler.verify('123', sig)
print(is_verified) # returns False

# Sleep added to simulate Expiry of OTP
sleep(2 * 61)
# Correct OTP and hash passed to verify method
# But after expiry time has passed
is_verified = otp_handler.verify(otp, sig)
print(is_verified) # returns False

The library also includes helper method to generate a random secret key

from simpleotp import generate_secret

SECRET_KEY = generate_secret()
print(SECRET_KEY) # 'Q0CZYBRDECESA72M'
