Project description

Python OATH

https://github.com/bdauvergne/python-oath/workflows/CI/badge.svg https://img.shields.io/pypi/dm/oath
python-oath is a package implementing the three main OATH specifications:
  • HOTP, an event based one-time password standard – OTP – using HMAC signatures,

  • TOTP, a time based OTP,

  • OCRA, a mixed OTP / signature system based on HOTP for complex use cases.

It’s Python 3 ready.

Getting started

The main APIs are:

  • hotp, to generate a password.

  • accept_hotp, to check a received password,

  • totp and accept_totp, the same for the TOTP standard.

  • GoogleAuthenticator to parse Google Authenticator URI

  • from_b32key to create a a GoogleAuthenticator object from a simple base32 key
