TOTP Generator

This is a time-based one time password generator(totp generator).

• https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6238
• https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4226

Screenshots

This is a menu bar application only

Motivation

Many companies nowadays require their employees to use a multi-factor authentication. Like entering a one time password when doing authentication. There are many mobile apps like Google authenticator, but they only work on your phones. What if you want a Desktop version, this is why I built this app.

There might be similar apps out there, but you don't really know if they are safe or not. Are they sending your information to their servers? You don't know. That's another reason I built this application, you can see all the source code here.

Requirements

• Currently only support for MacOS >= 10.12

Download

Download the .dmg file here

How to build from source code

1. Install Cocoapods https://cocoapods.org

   pod install

3. Open TOTPGenerator.xcworkspace with XCode

4. From XCode menu, Product -> Archive -> Distribute App -> Export/Copy App

How to get secret

When you're asked to enable multi-factors authentication, you're either provided with a secret key or a QR code to scan.

1. With secret key, you can easily enter into this application and start using it
2. With QR Code, you have to decode it and extract the secret out of it. You can use this QR Code decoder to get your secret out of a QR Code. Don't worry, I don't store any of your data, the source code is here https://github.com/dongliang3571/qrcode-decoder
