Summary

Implements native RFC 6238 TOTP in QtPass, replacing the shell-out to the third-party pass-otp extension. One-time passwords are now generated in-process using only QtCore, so OTP works on every platform and with both backends for the first time.

Before this PR, OTP was only ever a wrapper around pass otp:

  • RealPass::OtpGenerate ran pass otp <file>; ImitatePass::OtpGenerate was a stub logging "No OTP generation code for fake pass yet".
  • ConfigDialog disabled the feature when the extension was missing and hid the checkbox entirely on Windows.
  • MainWindow::updateOtpButtonVisibility hid the toolbar action on Windows and macOS.

Net effect: OTP never worked on Windows, never worked in gpg-direct (ImitatePass) mode, and required a Unix package most users don't have.

It also fixes a secret-disclosure bug that predates the feature work: FileContent::isLineHidden only suppressed lines starting with otpauth://, so an entry storing OTP: otpauth://…?secret=… rendered its shared secret in cleartext, put it on a copy button, and (in CLIPBOARD_ALWAYS mode) copied it to the clipboard on every selection.

Scope: 42 code/doc files, +3459/−100. Plus 64 mechanical lupdate refreshes (+10426/−8006) in two separate chore(l10n) commits so they can be skipped during review.

Storage format

Canonical form is an otpauth:// URI in the OTP template field:

myPassw0rd
login: alice@example.com
OTP: otpauth://totp/Example:alice?secret=JBSWY3DPEHPK3PXP&issuer=Example&digits=6&period=30

On read, four layouts are accepted, in this precedence:

  1. an OTP:/TOTP: field (URI or bare base32 secret);
  2. any field whose value is an otpauth:// URI (e.g. 2fa:);
  3. a bare otpauth:// line anywhere in the body — the pass-otp convention;
  4. a bare otpauth:// line as the entry's only/first line — what pass otp insert writes.

What's new

Module Purpose
src/base32.{h,cpp} RFC 4648 codec, ported from KeePassXC
src/totp.{h,cpp} RFC 6238; SHA-1/256/512 plus the Steam encoder
src/otpcodewidget.{h,cpp} Live code row: copy button + 1 Hz countdown
scripts/build-windows.cmd One-command Windows build with prerequisite checks

No new dependencies. QMessageAuthenticationCode and QCryptographicHash are QtCore; Base32 is hand-written.

Behaviour

  • Selecting an entry with an OTP secret shows an OTP Code row with the live code, a copy button and a countdown that rolls at the period boundary. Respects the existing autoclear-panel timer.
  • The toolbar action (Ctrl+G) copies the displayed code — no second decrypt.
  • PasswordDialog's OTP field accepts a pasted URI or bare secret, with a validation indicator.
  • Default template gains OTP; useOtp defaults on, with a one-time migration for existing profiles (the setting changed meaning from "use pass-otp" to "enable TOTP").

Also included

  • Fix qmake lupdate wildcard expansion on Windows (f0f77fc8a). qtpass.pro passed localization/*.ts to lupdate; cmd.exe does not expand the glob, so the call failed with Cannot create .../localization/*.ts and qmake never refreshed translations on Windows. Now uses qmake's $$files(), which works cross-platform. (Verified this does not break shadow builds — system() and $$files() both resolve against the .pro directory.)
  • Windows.md rewritten around two failure modes that produce very confusing errors, plus scripts/build-windows.cmd to make the documented build reproducible from a bare cmd.exe. See "Windows build" below.

Deliberately kept

Pass::OtpGenerate, finishedOtpGenerate and Enums::PASS_OTP_GENERATE are unchanged so the public backend API and tst_integration's coverage of it still work. The UI simply no longer calls them. The CI pass-otp packages are retained for that one test and commented as such.

Divergences from KeePassXC

Ported deliberately, not copied. Five upstream defects fixed:

Upstream issue Consequence
quint32 digitsPower = pow(alphabet, digits) Overflows at 10 digits (10¹⁰ > 2³²), corrupting codes
hmac[i] << 24 without a quint8 cast QByteArray elements are signed char; sign-extension corrupts ~50% of secrets
encode() widening char directly Any byte ≥ 0x80 sign-extends and corrupts neighbouring quantum bytes
decode() accepting pad counts of 2/5 Returned wrong-length data instead of an error
fromKeePass2Totp skipping qBound Out-of-range digits/period accepted

Also: otpauth://hotp/… is rejected (KeePassXC silently returns a plausible-looking wrong TOTP code), and parse() returns std::optional<Settings> instead of returning the localized error string in place of the code with a bool* out-param.

Code-review fixes

A /code-review max pass found 15 issues; 13 are fixed in six commits (cf5a1f10a0455bf4c5). Five were introduced by this branch:

  • Qt 5.15 build break. base32.cpp subscripted QByteArray with qsizetype. Qt 5.15 declares only operator[](int) and (uint), so on LP64 the call is ambiguous — the qt: "5.15" CI leg could not compile. Invisible during development because Qt 6.8 added a qsizetype overload.
  • pass otp insert layout leaked. parse() took line 0 as the password before the bare-URI scan, so such an entry wasn't recognised and its secret rendered as the Password row. Added getPasswordForDisplay().
  • Name-only suppression leaked. 2fa: otpauth://… was rendered verbatim with templateAllFields on and hidden with it off — a secret leaked or not depending on an unrelated setting.
  • Stuck request flag. m_otpRequestPending was cleared only on success and by the watchdog — which processErrorExit stops. One cancelled pinentry wedged it for the session, disabling copy-on-select and letting the armed one-shot claim the next unrelated decrypt.
  • Silent data destruction. normalizeOtpField() ran on every OK, and sanitizeInput maps 1→L, 8→B, so OTP: 12345678 → valid base32 → rewritten as an otpauth:// URI and re-encrypted. Now only URIs or user-edited fields are canonicalised.

The tests meant to catch the leaks couldn't: renderedText() read only QLabel::text(), never the QTextBrowser/QLineEdit/copy-button payload that field values actually go into — so the "secret is never shown" assertions would have passed with the suppression deleted. Fixed, and both new leak cases were confirmed failing first.

Testing performed

Unit tests, all green (Windows / Qt 6.8 / MSVC x64):

Suite Tests
tst_base32 62 — RFC 4648 vectors, sign-extension and interior-= regressions
tst_totp 63 — all 18 RFC 6238 appendix-B vectors across SHA-1/256/512, both Steam vectors, 10-digit overflow
tst_filecontent 61 — all four read layouts, leak suppression, round-trip
tst_passworddisplaypanel 21 — leak assertions, deterministic code via refresh(t), timer lifetime

RFC vectors were cross-checked against Python's hmac rather than trusted from memory. doxygen silent; clang-format clean; prettier clean on changed markdown/YAML.

Manually verified against a real password store on Windows with a YubiKey: codes correct, live countdown, clipboard autoclear, toolbar copy.

tst_util::grepImitatePassEmptyStoreEmitsEmpty fails in my environment — pre-existing, verified failing identically on unmodified main in a separate worktree. It needs a configured gpg.

Testing needed per OS

Only Windows / Qt 6.8 could be tested here. Everything below is unverified by the author.

All platforms

  1. Entry with OTP: otpauth://… → OTP row with live code; cross-check against oathtool --totp -b <secret> or a phone authenticator.
  2. Secret never visible — not in the row, not in the text browser, not on the clipboard — with templateAllFields both on and off, and with a template lacking OTP.
  3. All four read layouts, especially the pass otp insert one (URI as the only line).
  4. OTP: 12345678 (static backup code): edit another field, OK, reopen → byte-identical.
  5. Cancel pinentry during a toolbar OTP request, then select an entry → password still copied; no stray OTP row or "No OTP code found".
  6. Entry named sites/github.com → stored label is github.com, not github.
  7. Steam entry (&encoder=steam) → 5-character code from the Steam alphabet.

Linux

  • The qt: "5.15" CI leg is the critical gate. The qsizetype fix is settled by reading Qt 5.15's headers, but no working Qt 5 was available locally — please confirm this leg goes green.
  • pass-otp integration test (tst_integration) still passes; the extension is still installed by CI.
  • useSelection (X11 PRIMARY): copy the OTP code, middle-click paste, confirm autoclear clears both selections.
  • Theme icons exist here, so the invalid-secret warning indicator should be visible — the only platform where it is.
  • Wayland: clipboard behaviour after the app loses focus.
  • Both backends: pass installed (RealPass) and not installed (ImitatePass).

Windows

  • With clipBoardType = CLIPBOARD_ALWAYS, the toolbar copy must yield the code, not the password. Two OleSetClipboard calls in one event-loop turn previously left the clipboard empty; the toolbar path no longer re-decrypts.
  • ImitatePass (no pass binary) — the default here.
  • Known cosmetic gaps, not fixed: QIcon::fromTheme("dialog-warning") has no bundled fallback so the invalid-secret indicator is invisible; the %v countdown number is not drawn by the native style.
  • scripts\build-windows.cmd from a bare cmd.exe, plus its guards (conda Qt on PATH, missing Qt, 32-bit toolchain).
  • Gpg4win + smartcard/YubiKey decrypt.

macOS

  • The OTP action was previously hidden entirely on macOS — this is the first time the feature appears there, so it needs the fullest pass.
  • application/x-nspasteboard-concealed-type still applied; the code must be excluded from Universal Clipboard.
  • pass + pass-otp via brew (RealPass) as well as ImitatePass.
  • Same two cosmetic gaps as Windows (no theme icons; %v undrawn by the native style).
  • CI covers macOS on Qt 6.11 only.

BSD

Listed as supported in the README but not covered by CI. A plain build plus items 1–3 above would be enough.

Windows build

Windows.md documented the right procedure, but nothing detected when a step was skipped, and the resulting error pointed at Qt rather than at the shell. Two traps, both now checked by scripts/build-windows.cmd and documented with their exact symptoms:

  1. A Python/Anaconda Qt on PATH hijacks qmake. Anaconda ships Qt 5.15 for PyQt, which cannot compile with a current MSVC because Microsoft removed stdext::make_checked_array_iterator — the symptom is qlist.h: error C2653: 'stdext': is not a class or namespace name, ~200 lines into Qt headers.
  2. A 32-bit MSVC shell against an x64 Qt, which fails much later with LNK1112.

Also documented: nmake check stops at the first failing test binary (/K does not help, because qmake's recursive rules invoke nmake without it), and QtTest output is lost when redirected on Windows, so -o results.txt,txt is needed to read it.

Follow-ups (not in this PR)

The warning-icon fallback and the %v countdown rendering — both affecting the newly-enabled platforms — plus: the OTP secret is unmasked in the edit dialog while the password beside it is masked; label_10 ("Extensions:") is still hidden on Windows; the 1 Hz row timer keeps running while hidden to tray; and qtpass.pro's lupdate ./src ./main scans generated ui_*.h after an in-tree build, which pollutes .ts files with references to build output.

AntonioIbarraOrtiz and others added 13 commits August 12, 2026 21:27
QtPass advertised OTP support, but it was only a shell-out to the
third-party pass-otp extension: RealPass::OtpGenerate ran `pass otp`,
ImitatePass::OtpGenerate was a stub, ConfigDialog disabled the feature
when the extension was missing and hid the checkbox entirely on Windows,
and updateOtpButtonVisibility() hid the toolbar action on Windows and
macOS. OTP therefore never worked on Windows, never worked in
gpg2/git-direct mode, and needed a Unix package most users lack.

Generate one-time passwords in-process instead, using only QtCore
(QMessageAuthenticationCode + QCryptographicHash), so no dependency is
added. The configuration is stored as an otpauth:// URI in the OTP
template field, and bare otpauth:// lines written by pass-otp are still
read for compatibility.

New modules, ported and trimmed from KeePassXC:

- Base32 (src/base32.*): RFC 4648 codec. Failure is an empty QByteArray
  rather than KeePassXC's QVariant-nullness idiom. Two fixes over the
  original: encode() no longer sign-extends bytes >= 0x80 (which
  corrupted neighbouring bytes of the 40-bit quantum), and decode()
  rejects impossible pad counts instead of returning wrong-length data.
- Totp (src/totp.*): RFC 6238, SHA-1/256/512 plus the Steam encoder.
  parse() returns std::optional<Settings> and validates everything, so
  Settings is valid by construction and generate() cannot fail — this
  replaces KeePassXC's "return the localized error string in place of
  the code, plus a bool* out-param" convention. Also fixes its modulus
  overflow at ten digits (pow() into a quint32), applies the digits and
  period clamps on every path, and rejects otpauth://hotp/, which
  KeePassXC would answer with a plausible-looking wrong code.
- OtpCodeWidget (src/otpcodewidget.*): the live row. Its refresh timer
  is a child of the widget it updates, so PasswordDisplayPanel::clear()
  deleting the row also stops the timer; a panel-owned timer could fire
  into a destroyed label. Refreshes at 1 Hz from the wall clock, so a
  suspend across a period boundary self-corrects.

Also fixes a secret-disclosure bug. FileContent::parse promoted any
"name: value" line to a NamedValue and PasswordDisplayPanel::addField
rendered every NamedValue verbatim into a QTextBrowser and onto a copy
button, while isLineHidden() only suppressed lines *starting* with
otpauth://. An entry holding "OTP: otpauth://...?secret=..." therefore
displayed its shared secret in cleartext. isLineHidden() now also covers
OTP/TOTP field names and otpauth:// values, and displayFields() skips
OTP-named fields unconditionally — including when the feature is off.
The value deliberately stays in namedValues and remainingData, because
PasswordDialog reads the field from there and getPassword() drops empty
fields, so stripping it would silently delete the secret on the next save.

Other changes:

- MainWindow::onOtp decrypts once and derives the code via
  otpFromFileToClipboard, reusing the established one-shot-Show idiom
  (with the Qt 5/6 SingleShotConnection split). passOtpHandler and the
  finishedOtpGenerate connect are gone; updateOtpButtonVisibility no
  longer gates on platform.
- Pass::OtpGenerate and friends are kept unchanged, so the public
  backend API and tst_integration's coverage of it still work.
- PasswordDialog accepts a pasted URI or bare base32 secret in the OTP
  field, canonicalises it on save, and flags an unusable value with a
  theme-aware warning action. An invalid value is left verbatim rather
  than discarded.
- useOtp now defaults to true (it no longer implies an external
  dependency) and the default template gains OTP.

Tests: new tests/auto/base32 (60 cases) and tests/auto/totp (57 cases),
covering all 18 RFC 6238 appendix-B vectors across SHA-1/256/512, both
Steam vectors, the ten-digit overflow regression and the sign-extension
regression. tst_filecontent and tst_passworddisplaypanel gain coverage
for the lookup precedence, the leak fix, and the timer lifetime.

On Windows (cmd.exe), the '*' wildcard in 'localization/*.ts' is passed
literally to lupdate, which then fails because '*' is an invalid filename
character. Use qmake's built-in 1485files() function to expand the glob
before passing it to the system() call — this works cross-platform.

Mechanical `lupdate` output from running qmake6 after the native TOTP
work changed source strings. No translations were altered by hand.

Adds four new source strings:
  - Enable one-time password (OTP) support
  - Invalid OTP secret
  - Seconds until the OTP code changes
  - otpauth:// URI or base32 secret

Marks three as vanished, since OTP no longer depends on the pass-otp
extension: "Use pass-otp extension", "Use pass otp extension" and
"Pass OTP extension needs to be installed". The remaining churn is
line-number references shifting in the files the TOTP commit edited.

This refresh was missing from that commit because the qmake lupdate
step silently failed on Windows until the wildcard fix in f0f77fc.

Building on Windows with the documented steps

    qmake -spec win32-msvc
    nmake

fails part way through with an error inside Qt's own headers:

    ...\include\qt\QtCore/qlist.h(915):
      error C2653: 'stdext': is not a class or namespace name
      error C3861: 'make_checked_array_iterator': identifier not found

Two independent environment problems produce it, and neither is visible from
the instructions:

1. `qmake` resolves to a Python distribution's Qt rather than the installed
   MSVC Qt. Anaconda puts its bin directory early on PATH and ships Qt 5.15
   for PyQt, so qmake, uic, rcc and lrelease all come from conda. Qt 5.15
   defines QT_MAKE_CHECKED_ARRAY_ITERATOR as
   stdext::make_checked_array_iterator, which Microsoft has removed from its
   STL, so qlist.h cannot compile with a current MSVC at all. That Qt is also
   a conda package: headers under include\qt, libraries named
   Qt5Core_conda.lib.

2. The MSVC tools on PATH are 32-bit (bin\HostX86\x86) while an msvc*_64 Qt is
   x64. Even with (1) fixed this fails at link time with LNK1112.

Windows.md step 3 does prescribe the right setup, but nothing reports when it
was skipped, and the resulting error points at Qt rather than at the shell.

scripts/build-windows.cmd runs the documented build from a bare cmd.exe and
checks each assumption first, failing with a specific message:

  - locates Visual Studio with vswhere and loads vcvars64
  - verifies cl actually targets x64
  - locates Qt (QT_DIR, else the newest msvc*_64 install found under C:\Qt,
    R:\Qt, D:\Qt or %USERPROFILE%\Qt), preferring Qt 6
  - rejects a conda or MinGW qmake, and Qt 5 unless ALLOW_QT5=1, naming the
    stdext error so it is recognisable
  - clears QMAKESPEC/QTDIR and removes a stale .qmake.stash

Windows.md gains a Qt 6 requirement callout, a quick start, a verify-your-shell
snippet (`where qmake`, `qmake -query QT_VERSION`, `cl`), notes on running
tests, and troubleshooting rows for the stdext and LNK1112 symptoms. It no
longer implies Qt must live in C:\Qt.

Two Windows test-running quirks are documented rather than worked around:
nmake check stops at the first failing test binary and /K does not help,
because qmake's recursive rules invoke nmake without it; and QtTest output is
lost when redirected, so -o results.txt,txt is needed to read it.

.gitattributes pins *.cmd to CRLF on checkout. cmd.exe label lookup is
unreliable in LF-only batch files - an LF checkout of the new script fails with
"The system cannot find the batch label specified". Scoped to *.cmd because the
existing *.bat files are stored with CRLF and declaring them would rewrite
them.

No source, .pro or .pri files are touched.

Clicking the OTP toolbar action reported "OTP code copied to clipboard" but
left the clipboard empty. The status message was accurate as far as it went:
otpFromFileToClipboard did run and did call copyTextToClipboard. The copy was
then lost.

onOtp() re-decrypted the entry with Pass::Show() and derived the code in a
one-shot finishedShow slot. But MainWindow::passShowHandler is connected to
finishedShow first (qtpass.cpp connectPassSignalHandlers, from the MainWindow
constructor), so with clipBoardType == CLIPBOARD_ALWAYS both slots ran in the
same event-loop turn and wrote the clipboard twice:

  1. passShowHandler -> setClippedText -> copyTextToClipboard(password)
  2. otpFromFileToClipboard        -> copyTextToClipboard(code)

On Windows each is an OleSetClipboard, which empties the clipboard before
publishing the new data. Back to back, that can leave it empty rather than
holding either value. The panel's copy button was never affected because it
performs a single write.

Step 1 was also wrong on its own terms: a request for a one-time code must not
put the account password on the clipboard, however briefly.

The second decrypt is unnecessary. When the entry is displayed, OtpCodeWidget
already holds the current code, so PasswordDisplayPanel::currentOtpCode()
exposes it and onOtp() copies that directly — one clipboard write, no decrypt,
no dependence on slot ordering. The one-shot Show survives only as a fallback
for when no OTP row is rendered (hideContent, panel autoclear, or an entry
without an OTP), and there a new m_otpRequestPending flag makes passShowHandler
skip the password copy.

Three further defects found while tracing this, all fixed:

- updateOtpButtonVisibility() ignored the state its caller passed, so
  setUiElementsEnabled(false) re-enabled actionOtp and the user could stack
  Show calls during a decrypt. It now takes a uiEnabled argument; visibility
  still follows the setting alone so the button does not flicker.
- A decrypt failure never fires finishedShow, and Qt::SingleShotConnection only
  self-disconnects when it does fire, so the armed connection survived and the
  next unrelated finishedShow was hijacked — a later tree click would copy an
  OTP and show "No OTP code found in this password entry".
  otpFromFileToClipboard now ignores a fire it did not ask for, and the UI
  watchdog clears the flag too.
- An empty decrypt result was reported as "No OTP code found in this password
  entry", masking a decrypt failure as a data problem. It now says
  "Could not decrypt this password entry".

The clipboard layer is deliberately untouched: autoclear is confirmed working,
and the double-write hazard is removed at source rather than papered over in
copyTextToClipboard.

Verified by the reporter against a real store: TOTP codes, live countdown,
clipboard autoclear and the toolbar action all behave correctly.

…ard fix

Mechanical `lupdate` output from running qmake6 after the OTP toolbar clipboard
fix. No translations were altered by hand.

Adds one source string, used when a decrypt fails during an OTP request so it
is no longer misreported as an entry without an OTP:

  - Could not decrypt this password entry

The remaining churn is line-number references shifting in the files that fix
touched.

Two defects found by code review.

Qt 5.15 declares only QByteArray::operator[](int) and operator[](uint). The
codec indexed with qsizetype, which on LP64 is long long: the conversions to
int and to uint have equal rank, so neither overload wins and the call is
ambiguous. Qt 6 added a qsizetype overload, which is why this compiled locally
while the ubuntu-latest / qt 5.15 matrix leg could not build at all. Write
through a raw `char *` obtained once from data() instead, which is unambiguous
on both versions and skips the repeated detach check. Reads via at() were
always fine: Qt 5.15 has a single at(int) overload.

countPadding() also counted every '=' within the last six positions rather than
the trailing run, because it never stopped at the first non-'='. So
removePadding("AB=CDEF=") counted two pads, resized to six and destroyed the
'F', and decode("AA======AAAAAAAA") saw zero pads and returned ten zero bytes
instead of the empty result the header documents for malformed input. Stop at
the first non-'=', and reject a '=' that appears before the trailing run.

Both were latent — removePadding has no callers in src/ yet, and decode is only
reached through sanitizeInput, which strips '=' before padding — but both are
public API and decode's strictness is what makes isEmpty() a valid error test.

Code review found two paths that put a shared secret on screen and onto a copy
button, both defeating the suppression this branch added.

FileContent::parse() takes line 0 as the password before the loop that scans for
bare otpauth:// lines. An entry written by `pass otp insert` has the URI as its
only line, so it was never recognised as OTP configuration — no OTP row, and
the toolbar reported "No OTP code found in this password entry" — while the URI
itself was rendered as the Password row, loaded into a QPushButtonWithClipboard,
and, under CLIPBOARD_ALWAYS, copied to the clipboard on every selection.

Fix: recognise a URI in the password position as OTP configuration, and add
getPasswordForDisplay(), which is empty in that case. getPassword() still
returns the raw line so PasswordDialog round-trips the file unchanged — moving
the line into remainingData would have inserted a leading blank line into the
user's file. passShowHandler now uses the display variant, so neither the panel
nor setClippedText() ever sees it, and displayFields() refuses to render an
otpauth URI as a password as defence in depth.

Second, the render layer suppressed fields by NAME only, while isLineHidden()
also hides fields whose VALUE is an otpauth URI. So `2fa: otpauth://...` was
promoted to a NamedValue with templateAllFields on and rendered in full with a
copy button — and hidden when templateAllFields was off, i.e. a secret leaked or
not depending on an unrelated setting. isOtpUriValue() is now public and used by
the hide path, the render path and the getOtpUri() precedence, so such a field
produces a working OTP row instead of leaking or vanishing.

The tests that were supposed to catch this could not: renderedText() in
tst_passworddisplaypanel read only QLabel::text() and toolTip(), never the
QTextBrowser, QLineEdit or QPushButtonWithClipboard payload that addField()
actually writes values into — so the "secret must never be shown" assertions
would have passed with the suppression deleted outright. It now covers all
four sinks. Both new panel cases were confirmed failing before the fix.

Four defects around the OTP field, found by code review.

normalizeOtpField() ran on every OK, and Base32::sanitizeInput() maps 1 to L and
8 to B, so a static backup code stored as `OTP: 12345678` sanitized to
"L234567B" — eight characters, decodable, so Totp::isValid() said yes and no
warning was shown. Edit any field, click OK, and QtPass rewrote the line as
`OTP: otpauth://totp/<entry>?secret=L234567B&digits=6&period=30` and
re-encrypted it. The user never had to touch the OTP field: setPassword()
parses with allFields=true, so the line is always a QLineEdit that
otpLineEdit() finds. The original was unrecoverable except from git history,
and the doc block claimed the opposite. Now a value is only rewritten when it is
already an otpauth:// URI or when the user actually typed in the field this
session, tracked from QLineEdit::textEdited (user input only, unlike
textChanged). A bare secret left alone still works — Totp::parse() accepts one.

otpLineEdit() searched m_templateLines first and returned the first name match.
Since the default template is now "login\nurl\nOTP" it creates an empty OTP
widget, and setPassword() fills template widgets by exact objectName, so an
entry storing `TOTP:` left that widget empty and put the real secret in
m_otherLines. Everything then operated on the wrong widget: no validation, no
canonicalisation, typos saved silently. It now prefers a populated match.

hookOtpField() set m_otpWarning to nullptr on the assumption that the old field
was deleted with it. That holds for m_otherLines, which removeRow() deletes, but
not for m_templateLines, which setPassword() only calls setText() on. So
populating an invalid value installed one icon, hookOtpField() forgot it, and
the next validate installed a second; correcting the value removed only the
second, leaving the field permanently marked invalid. It now removes the action
from its owner before dropping the pointer.

Finally, QFileInfo::completeBaseName() truncates at the last dot, so an entry
called github.com produced a label of "github" and mail.google.com became
"mail.google" — persisted into the URI, and what any authenticator you later
export to would display. Use fileName(); m_file already has .gpg stripped.

Two defects in the OTP toolbar path, both introduced by the previous commit.

m_otpRequestPending was cleared only on success and by the UI watchdog. A failed
decrypt (cancelled pinentry, wrong key) never emits Pass::finishedShow; it goes
to QtPass::processErrorExit, which calls setUiElementsEnabled(true) — and that
stops the watchdog, the one other place clearing the flag. So a single cancelled
pinentry wedged it true for the rest of the session, with two consequences:
passShowHandler permanently skipped setClippedText(), silently disabling
copy-password-on-select in CLIPBOARD_ALWAYS mode; and the still-armed one-shot
passed the guard on the next ordinary tree click, copying an unrelated entry's
OTP code or red-flashing "No OTP code found in this password entry" over a panel
the user only wanted to look at. The guard's own comment claimed to make a stale
arm inert, but the failure path produced the one state it could not handle.
Requests now end explicitly via cancelOtpRequest(), connected to
Pass::processErrorExit and also called from deselect().

The fast path read the panel's displayed code without checking the panel was
showing the selected entry. on_treeView_clicked is wired to QTreeView::clicked,
which is mouse-only, and nothing handles currentChanged — so moving the
selection with the arrow keys, or right-clicking an entry (showContextMenu calls
setCurrentIndex with no Show) and pressing Escape, leaves the panel rendering the
previous account while currentIndex points elsewhere. Pressing OTP then copied
the wrong account's code and reported success. The panel's current entry is now
tracked in m_shownFile and the fast path requires it to match; otherwise the
decrypt fallback runs. The fallback also records the requested file so a decrypt
started by something else cannot be taken for its answer.

The absent currentChanged handler is a wider pre-existing gap — keyboard
navigation does not refresh the panel at all — and is left alone here; this makes
the wrong-code symptom impossible rather than silent.

Two defects in the otpauth URI handling, both reachable because
normalizeOtpField() re-serialises the field and PasswordDialog writes the result
back to the encrypted file.

queryItemValue("digits").toUInt() returns 0 with no error signal for anything
non-numeric, and qBound(1, 0, 10) turned that into digits=1, step=1. So a
hand-typed URI with `period=3O` (letter O), or a provisioning tool emitting
`digits=&period=`, parsed "successfully" into a one-character code rotating once
a second, with no warning because parse() succeeded — and normalize() then wrote
`digits=1&period=1` back, destroying the original parameters. Absent, empty,
non-numeric and zero values now fall back to the RFC 6238 defaults. The existing
clamp test enshrined the old digits=0 behaviour and has been updated.

toUri() rebuilt the URI from only the six parameters Settings models, so any
other one was silently dropped. A URI carrying `image=` (honoured by Aegis and
2FAS) lost it the first time the user edited an unrelated field and clicked OK —
a valid URI mutated and re-encrypted with information removed. Unrecognised
query items are now kept verbatim and re-emitted.

toUri() also emitted the secret with the padding sanitizeInput() had added, so
QtPass wrote `secret=...======`. The Key-Uri-Format spec says the padding is
omitted, and third-party importers and QR readers commonly reject or truncate
it. Emit it through Base32::removePadding() — which had no callers in src/ at
all, this being its intended site — and rely on sanitizeInput() re-padding on
read, so the round trip is unchanged.

Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
Flipping AppSettings::useOtp to true reached nobody who had ever run QtPass.
init()'s fresh-install branch calls QtPassSettings::save(), and
SettingsSerializer::save() writes every key unconditionally, so useOtp=false is
already sitting in QSettings and `qs.value(useOtp, true)` never applies. There
was no migration.

The consequences compounded on upgrade. With useOtp false, passShowHandler
passes an empty otpConfig, so displayFields() suppresses the OTP field and puts
nothing in its place; isLineHidden() strips it from the text browser too, since
hiding a shared secret is not conditional on the feature being on; and
updateOtpButtonVisibility() had started hiding the toolbar action outright rather
than merely disabling it. Net effect: an existing entry holding
`OTP: otpauth://...` showed no trace of its OTP data anywhere in the main window,
where previously it was at least visible as ordinary text.

The setting also changed meaning — it used to gate the Unix-only pass-otp
extension, now it gates built-in TOTP — so a stored false is stale state rather
than a preference. Enable it once for existing profiles, recorded under its own
otpMigratedToNative key so someone who deliberately turns it off is not
overridden on the next launch.

Also restore the toolbar action to visible-but-disabled when OTP is off, so the
feature stays discoverable. Secret suppression itself remains unconditional.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

QtPass adds native RFC 6238 TOTP generation with Base32 support. The change includes OTP parsing, secret suppression, live code display, migration handling, and expanded test coverage. It also adds a validated Windows MSVC/Qt build script and updates localization catalogs and documentation.

Changes

Native OTP support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Base32 and TOTP core
src/base32.*, src/totp.*, tests/auto/base32/*, tests/auto/totp/*
Adds strict Base32 encoding and decoding. Adds TOTP support for multiple hash algorithms, digit formats, and periods. Adds URI parsing, normalization, Steam encoding, and RFC test vectors.
OTP parsing and display
src/filecontent.*, src/passworddialog.*, src/passworddisplaypanel.*, src/otpcodewidget.*, tests/auto/filecontent/*, tests/auto/passworddisplaypanel/*
Detects OTP fields and URIs. Validates and normalizes input. Renders live codes with countdowns. Suppresses OTP secrets from display, copy, and QR actions.
OTP requests and migration
src/mainwindow.*, src/qtpass.cpp, src/settings*, src/appsettings.h, src/pass.h
Generates codes after decryption. Tracks and cancels requests. Reuses displayed codes. Enables native OTP by default. Migrates existing profiles. Retains legacy passthrough compatibility.

Windows build tooling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Windows build workflow
scripts/build-windows.cmd, scripts/README.md, Windows.md, .gitattributes, .editorconfig
Adds MSVC x64 and Qt discovery. Adds compatibility checks and qmake/nmake execution. Adds test targets and troubleshooting guidance. Adds CRLF handling for .cmd files.

Localization and project integration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Translation catalog OTP and location updates
localization/*.ts
Updates translated source locations. Adds OTP support, OTP widget, and password-dialog OTP messages across every supported language.
Source registration and helper cleanup
src/configdialog.*, src/src.pro, README.md, CHANGELOG.md, FAQ.md, .codespellrc, .github/linters/.gitleaks.toml, .github/workflows/ccpp.yml, qtpass.pro, .gitignore
Registers new Base32, TOTP, and OTP widget source files. Removes the obsolete pass-otp availability check. Updates the OTP checkbox label. Documents built-in TOTP support. Registers new test binaries.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to ed3af

The PR adds native TOTP generation and related input and validation messages; those new messages remain untranslated in three supported locales, creating a bounded user-experience issue. The change is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and localization follow-up.

Inline comments:
In `@localization/localization_nl_NL.ts`:
- Around line 1893-1903: Update the translation for “No OTP code found in this
password entry” to use the single-word Dutch compound “wachtwoordbestand”
instead of the split form, leaving the surrounding OTP translations unchanged.

In `@localization/localization_sq.ts`:
- Around line 1601-1610: Complete the empty translations for the PasswordDialog
OTP messages “otpauth:// URI or base32 secret” and “Invalid OTP secret” in
localization/localization_sq.ts lines 1601-1610 with Albanian text,
localization/localization_sr_Cyrl.ts lines 1790-1799 with Serbian Cyrillic text,
and localization/localization_sr_RS.ts lines 1806-1815 with Serbian Latin text.

In `@scripts/build-windows.cmd`:
- Around line 121-160: Update the explicit QT_DIR validation near the qt_ready
path to query QMAKE_XSPEC from the selected qmake and reject any kit whose
target spec is not win32-msvc. Perform this validation before normal qmake use,
report the invalid spec, and preserve the existing checks for qmake resolution,
conda/mingw paths, and Qt version.

In `@src/appsettings.h`:
- Line 74: Replace the trailing documentation on the public useOtp member with a
preceding Doxygen block using the required /** `@brief` ... */ form, while
preserving its existing description and default value.

In `@src/mainwindow.cpp`:
- Around line 1244-1266: Update the OTP fallback flow, specifically
passShowHandler’s panel-rendering path, to assign m_shownFile to the file being
displayed whenever Show(file) repaints the panel. Ensure this marker stays
synchronized with the rendered entry so onOtp()’s currentOtpCode fast path
cannot reuse another account’s code and repeated requests avoid unnecessary
decryption.

In `@src/passworddialog.h`:
- Around line 154-155: Use QPointer for the m_otpWarning member and include
QPointer in src/passworddialog.h (lines 154-155) so it nulls when the QAction’s
parent destroys it. In src/passworddialog.cpp (lines 223-232), update the
m_otpWarning checks in hookOtpField() and validateOtpField() to use isNull()
instead of comparing against nullptr.

In `@src/qtpass.cpp`:
- Around line 87-89: Update the fresh-install initialization alongside
QtPassSettings::save(s) to set SettingsConstants::otpMigratedToNative, ensuring
the migration branch does not run on subsequent launches and preserves a user's
OTP opt-out.

In `@src/totp.cpp`:
- Around line 119-169: Update the URI parsing branch in the TOTP parser so
inputs with an otpauth: prefix are rejected when QUrl is invalid, rather than
falling through to bare-secret handling. Gate the bare-secret assignment on the
absence of that prefix, preserving normal bare-secret parsing and HOTP rejection
for valid URIs.
- Around line 154-165: Update the queryItems call in the extraParams parsing
block to request QUrl::FullyDecoded, ensuring unknown parameter values are
decoded before later percent-encoding; add or update
tst_totp::toUriPreservesUnknownParameters to assert preserved values are not
double-encoded.

In `@tests/auto/passworddisplaypanel/tst_passworddisplaypanel.cpp`:
- Around line 352-365: Update
tst_passworddisplaypanel::otpUriAsPasswordIsNeverRendered to assert
m_grid->count() == 2, confirming no empty password row is created, and locate
the OTP widget at row 0 instead of row 1 while preserving the existing secret
and URI visibility assertions.

In `@tests/auto/totp/tst_totp.cpp`:
- Around line 10-15: Update the secret-scanning configuration or annotations for
the Base32 test vectors: cover kSteamSecret in tests/auto/totp/tst_totp.cpp
lines 10-15 and its repeated occurrence near line 430, and the Base32 value in
tests/auto/filecontent/tst_filecontent.cpp lines 454-460. Use the project’s
established allowlist or inline-ignore mechanism without changing the TOTP test
behavior.

m_otpWarning held a raw QAction* returned by QLineEdit::addAction(), which
parents the action to the line edit. setPassword() deletes every m_otherLines
widget via formLayout->removeRow() (passworddialog.cpp:168) — taking their child
actions with them — and only then calls hookOtpField() (:187), which dereferenced
m_otpWarning->parent() to remove the action from its owner. When the warning
belonged to one of those deleted widgets, that read was a use-after-free.

Reachable in normal use: PasswordDialog stays connected to Pass::finishedShow, so
setPassword() runs again on every emission, and an entry whose OTP value fails
validation has the action installed.

Make the member a QPointer<QAction>, which nulls itself when the parent destroys
the action, and test it with isNull(). The surviving-widget path is unchanged:
the action is still removed from its owner and deleted.

Two problems in Totp::parse, both found by CodeRabbit.

A string that starts with otpauth: but that QUrl cannot parse fell through to the
bare-secret branch, which hands the whole string to Base32::sanitizeInput(). That
strips the punctuation and keeps the letters, so
`otpauth://[::bad/totp?secret=JBSWY3DPEHPK3PXP` became the 36-character
`otpauthbadtotpsecretJBSWY3DPEHPK3PXP`, padded to 40 — valid base32 — and QtPass
generated a confidently wrong code from it. Such input is now rejected, like the
existing HOTP case: an error beats a plausible-looking wrong code.

Note the malformed cases that were already handled: `otpauth:`,
`otpauth:totp/x?...` and `OTPAUTH:garbage` parse as valid URIs with an empty
host, so the host != "totp" check caught them. Only a QUrl-invalid string reached
the fallback.

Separately, queryItems() defaults to QUrl::PrettyDecoded, which leaves percent
escapes in place, while toUri() re-encodes with QUrl::toPercentEncoding. An
`image=https%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Fl.png` parameter therefore came back as the
still-escaped literal and was escaped a second time on write. Request
QUrl::FullyDecoded so the pair is symmetric.

The existing test only asserted that "image=" was present, which passed while the
value was mangled; it now checks the value itself, plus a parameter containing a
literal percent sign, which is the case that double-encodes.

displayFields() set position = 1 unconditionally, on the assumption that the
password always occupies row 0. An entry written by `pass otp insert` has no
password row — that is the layout this branch added support for — so row 0 was
left empty and the OTP row rendered under a blank gap. Number the rows as they
are added instead.

m_shownFile, which stops onOtp()'s fast path copying a code the panel is not
actually showing, was assigned only in on_treeView_clicked(). Show() is also
issued by the OTP fallback and by copyPasswordFromTreeview(), and both repaint the
panel through passShowHandler, so the marker went stale. The guard failed safe —
a mismatch only causes an extra decrypt, it never copies the wrong code — but the
invariant was wrong and a second OTP request decrypted again needlessly. Assign it
at those sites too.

Setting it before the decrypt completes is safe because executeWrapperStarted()
clears the panel on every command, so a failed decrypt leaves currentOtpCode()
empty and the fast path inert.

The one-time useOtp migration is guarded by an otpMigratedToNative key, so that a
user who deliberately turns OTP off is not overridden on the next launch. The
fresh-install branch of init() never set that key, so a new profile got the
guarantee backwards: turn OTP off during the first session, restart, and the
migration branch — now reached because version is no longer empty — switched it
back on.

Set the marker alongside the existing save() in that branch. A fresh profile
already carries the new default, so there is nothing for the migration to do.

The script rejected a non-MSVC Qt only by looking for "mingw" in the resolved
qmake path, so a MinGW kit installed as, say, C:\Qt\6.8.0\gcc_64 passed every
check and failed later inside nmake. Ask the kit what it targets with
qmake -query QMAKE_XSPEC and require win32-msvc, naming the spec found.

To be clear about what this does not do: it would not have caught the Anaconda
Qt 5.15 that motivated the script, which also reports win32-msvc. The existing
conda-path and Qt-version guards remain the ones that catch that case; this is an
additional check for kits the path heuristic misses.

"No OTP code found in this password entry" was translated with the split form
"wachtwoord bestand". Dutch writes compounds as one word, and this file already
uses "wachtwoordbestand" in four other messages, so the split form was the
anomaly. Corrected in both the finished and the unfinished copy of the string.

Left alone: a type="vanished" obsolete string and an unrelated message in nl_BE
that carry the same split form. Both predate this branch.

Two were more serious than the comments suggested, and worth spelling out:

  • The QPointer one is a genuine use-after-free. setPassword() deletes the m_otherLines widgets at passworddialog.cpp:168, destroying their child QActions, and then calls hookOtpField() at :187, which dereferenced m_otpWarning->parent(). Reachable in normal use, since the dialog stays connected to finishedShow and re-populates on every emission.
  • The malformed-URI fallthrough generated a wrong code, not just an odd one. otpauth://[::bad/totp?secret=JBSWY3DPEHPK3PXP sanitized to the 36-character otpauthbadtotpsecretJBSWY3DPEHPK3PXP, padded to 40 — valid base32 — so a confident but entirely wrong code came out. Worth noting the cases that were already handled: otpauth:, otpauth:totp/x?… and OTPAUTH:garbage parse as valid URIs with an empty host, so the existing host != "totp" check caught them; only a QUrl-invalid string reached the fallback.

One correction to the review's rationale

The QMAKE_XSPEC check does not catch the problem that motivated build-windows.cmd: the Anaconda Qt 5.15 also reports win32-msvc. I added it anyway because it catches kits the path heuristic misses (a MinGW Qt installed as gcc_64 reports win32-g++), but the existing conda-path and Qt-version guards remain the ones that catch the reported case, and they stay.

Declined, with reasons

  • Fill the sq / sr_Cyrl / sr_RS translations. Invalid OTP secret is empty-unfinished in all 64 locales, not just those three — they are new source strings and this project translates through Weblate. Hand-filling three arbitrary locales by machine translation would be inconsistent and is exactly what the repo's localization-audit guidance warns against.
  • Convert useOtp's trailing comment to a /** @brief */ block. src/appsettings.h uses trailing ///< for 53 of 53 members; ///< is valid Doxygen and doxygen Doxyfile is currently silent. Changing one member would make it the only inconsistent line in the file.
  • Add the test vectors to a secret-scanning allowlist. There is no gitleaks / trufflehog / .secrets.baseline config in the repo and nothing relevant in .github/super-linter.env, so there is no established mechanism to add to. These are published RFC 6238 and KeePassXC test vectors, not credentials; introducing a scanner config seems out of scope here, though happy to do it as a follow-up if you'd like one.

Verification

Full suite green on Windows / Qt 6.8 (tst_totp 63→67, tst_base32 62, tst_filecontent 61, tst_passworddisplaypanel 21); doxygen silent; clang-format clean. tst_util::grepImitatePassEmptyStoreEmitsEmpty still fails locally — pre-existing, verified failing identically on unmodified main in a separate worktree.

One caveat I want to be explicit about: the Qt 5.15 CI leg is the only real proof of the qsizetype fix. There is no usable Qt 5 on my machine, so that green tick is what confirms it rather than anything I ran locally.

Two unrelated CI failures, both infrastructure, both hitting every PR that
builds code or runs the linters (e.g. #1625):

- Qt 6.11 builds (ubuntu + macOS) fail in "Install Qt": the bare "6.11"
  version spec resolves to the latest patch 6.11.2, whose archives
  download.qt.io currently fails to serve ("Failed to download checksum
  ... from mirrors"). Pin the 6.11 matrix entries to the known-good
  6.11.1 while keeping the "6.11" check names intact via a matrix
  expression. Revert once 6.11.2 mirrors propagate.

- Lint Code Base fails despite "Failed checks: 0": super-linter (v8.7.0)
  POSTs per-linter commit statuses, but the job runs with a read-only
  token (no statuses: write), so each POST returns HTTP 403 and fails the
  job. Set MULTI_STATUS=false to disable the status writes; the job's own
  check result already reports pass/fail.

The super-linter run surfaced four issues once the status-403 was fixed;
all are false positives on intentional test data or config, addressed at
the repo-config level:

- editorconfig: scripts/build-windows.cmd is CRLF by design (.gitattributes),
  but .editorconfig lacked a [*.cmd] rule, so it was checked as LF. Add the
  rule, mirroring the existing [*.bat]/[*.iss] blocks.
- gitleaks: the base32/TOTP unit tests embed fabricated otpauth:// secrets
  (RFC 6238/4648 vectors) that trip generic-api-key. Add
  .github/linters/.gitleaks.toml extending the default ruleset and
  allowlisting tests/.
- codespell: "fo" (RFC 4648 base32 vector f/fo/foo) and "unparseable" (a
  valid variant used in a negative-test row label) added to ignore-words-list.
- markdownlint MD013: wrap the 495-char TOTP changelog bullet under 400.

Documentation:
- CHANGELOG: add an Upgrade Notes section explaining that OTP is now on by
  default and how to turn it off (Settings tab), and that the upgrade touches
  only the setting — no stored passwords are read or rewritten.
- FAQ: how to set up built-in TOTP (otpauth:// in the OTP field, no pass-otp
  needed) and how to disable the auto-displayed code.

Code tidy (from review):
- base32.cpp: reuse the already-computed nPads for firstPad instead of a
  second countPadding() scan of the same buffer.
- passworddisplaypanel.h: fix a stale doc reference (passOtpHandler was
  renamed otpFromFileToClipboard).

No behavior change. Migration policy is unchanged (enable-everywhere, sticky
opt-out); test coverage of the TOTP/base32/FileContent paths is already
comprehensive (RFC vectors, ASAN fuzz, arbitrary-named otpauth suppression),
so no redundant tests added.

Comment thread .github/linters/.gitleaks.toml
The initial allowlist exempted all of tests/.* from secret scanning, which
would also hide a real leaked credential in any unrelated test. gitleaks only
flags fabricated otpauth:// secrets in two files (tst_totp.cpp,
tst_filecontent.cpp); scope the allowlist to exactly those so every other
path — tests and production code — keeps full detection.
