The Google Authenticator project includes implementations of one-time passcode generators for several mobile platforms, as well as a pluggable authentication module (PAM). One-time passcodes are generated using open standards developed by the Initiative for Open Authentication (OATH) (which is unrelated to OAuth).

These implementations support the HMAC-Based One-time Password (HOTP) algorithm specified in RFC 4226 and the Time-based One-time Password (TOTP) algorithm specified in RFC 6238.

Implementations

This project currently offers mobile application implementations of HOTP/TOTP for Android, iOS, and Blackberry, as well as a PAM module.

Google Authenticator for Android

The code for Android has been moved to a separate GitHub project.

The Android mobile app supports:

  • Multiple accounts
  • Support for 30-second TOTP codes
  • Support for counter-based HOTP codes
  • Key provisioning via scanning a QR code
  • Manual key entry of RFC 4648 base32 key strings

DISCLAIMER: This open source project allows you to download the code that powered version 2.21 of the application. Subsequent versions contain Google-specific workflows that are not part of the project.

Google Authenticator for iOS

The iOS mobile app supports:

  • Multiple accounts
  • Support for 30-second TOTP codes
  • Support for counter-based HOTP codes
  • Key provisioning via scanning a QR code
  • Manual key entry of RFC 4648 base32 key strings

Google Authenticator for Blackberry

The BlackBerry mobile app supports:

  • Multiple accounts
  • Support for 30-second TOTP codes
  • Support for counter-based HOTP codes
  • Manual key entry of RFC 4648 base32 key strings

PAM Module

The PAM module can add a two-factor authentication step to any PAM-enabled application. It supports:

  • Per-user secret and status file stored in user's home directory
  • Support for 30-second TOTP codes
  • Support for emergency scratch codes
  • Protection against replay attacks
  • Key provisioning via display of QR code
  • Manual key entry of RFC 4648 base32 key strings
