Why use this lib?

Install

  • npm
    npm i otp-io
  • Yarn
    yarn add otp-io

What is this?

  • HOTP - HMAC-based One Time Password generation method. Uses incrementing with each login counter and secret to generate unique 6-8 digit codes.
  • TOTP - Time-based, uses current time modulo period (seconds) as counter in HOTP,
  • Google Authenticator - uses simplified version of TOTP to generate codes. Differences:
    • Only SHA-1 hash support
    • Only 6 digit codes
    • Keys should not be padded
    • TOTP period is 30 seconds

Google Authenticator limits are defaults for this library.

How it works?

// 1. Import library - use totp (code changes with time)
import { totp, generateKey, getKeyUri } from "otp-io";
// 2. Import crypto adapter. 
// Specify `crypto-node` or `crypto-web` if node/bundler cannot 
// detect correct version
import { hmac, randomBytes } from "otp-io/crypto";

// 3. Get key from somewhere. Or generate it
const key = generateKey(randomBytes, /* bytes: */ 20); // 5-20 good for Google Authenticator

// 4. Get key import url
const url = getKeyUri({
  type: "totp",
  secret,
  name: "User's Username",
  issuer: "Your Site Name"
});

// 5. Show it to user as QR code - send it back to client
// Get 6-digit code back from him, as confirmation of saving secret key

const input = "...";

const code = await totp(hmac, { secret });

if (code === input) {
  // 6. Done. User configured your key
}
