motp is a Go package that provides a Mobile-OTP (mOTP) generator. This package allows you to generate time-based one-time passwords (OTP) using a secret key and a PIN.

• Configurable period for OTP validity
• Configurable number of digits in the OTP
• Generates OTP based on the current Unix timestamp

To install the package, use the following command:

go get github.com/itpey/motp

You can create a new MOTP instance by specifying a secret key and a PIN. Optionally, you can configure the period and the number of digits for the OTP.

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "log"
    "github.com/itpey/motp"
)

func main() {
    // Create a new MOTP instance with default settings
    motpInstance, err := motp.New("your_secret_key", "your_pin")
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatalf("Error creating MOTP instance: %v", err)
    }

    // Generate an OTP based on the current Unix timestamp
    otp, err := motpInstance.GenerateCurrent()
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatalf("Error generating OTP: %v", err)
    }

    fmt.Printf("Generated OTP: %s\n", otp)
}

You can customize the period and the number of digits in the OTP by using functional options:

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "log"
    "github.com/itpey/motp"
)

func main() {
    // Create a new MOTP instance with custom period and digits
    motpInstance, err := motp.New("your_secret_key", "your_pin", motp.WithPeriod(30), motp.WithDigits(8))
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatalf("Error creating MOTP instance: %v", err)
    }

    // Generate an OTP based on the current Unix timestamp
    otp, err := motpInstance.GenerateCurrent()
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatalf("Error generating OTP: %v", err)
    }

    fmt.Printf("Generated OTP: %s\n", otp)
}

The motp-cli is a command-line tool for generating one-time passwords (OTPs) using the Mobile-OTP (mOTP)algorithm. It allows you to specify a secret key and a PIN to generate a unique OTP based on the current time period.

Make sure you have Go installed and configured on your system. Use go install to install motp-cli:

go install github.com/itpey/motp/cmd/motp@latest

Ensure that your GOBIN directory is in your PATH for the installed binary to be accessible globally.

$ motp --secret your_secret_key --pin your_pin --duration duration --length length

Flags

• --secret, -s: mOTP secret value (often hex or alphanumeric digits) [required]
• --pin, -p: mOTP PIN value (usually 4 digits) [required]
• --duration, -d: Duration of mOTP codes in seconds (default 10s) [optional]
• --length, -l: Length of mOTP output (default 6 characters) [optional]

$ motp --secret mysecret --pin 1234 --duration 30 --length 8
