Telegram Mini App that allows you to generate one-time 2FA passwords inside Telegram.

➡️ OPEN

• ✅ Universal: TeleOTP implements TOTP (Time-Based One-Time Password Algorithm) which is used by most services.
• 👌 Convenient: Accounts are safely stored in your Telegram cloud storage, so you can access them anywhere you can use Telegram.
• 🔒 Secure: All accounts are encrypted using AES. That means even if your Telegram account is breached, the attacker won't have access to your tokens without the encryption password.
• 🥰 User-friendly: TeleOTP is designed to look like Telegram and follows your color theme.
• 🤗 Open: TeleOTP supports account migration to and from Google Authenticator. You can switch the platforms at any time without any hassle!

TeleOTP is made with React, Typescript, and Material UI. Vite frontend tooling is used for rapid development and easy deployment.

To begin working with the project, you should install the dependencies by running this command:

npm install

Before starting the server or building the app, make sure that your project directory has a file named .env. It should follow the .env.example file structure. You could also set these variables directly when running the app.

The app uses following environment variables:

• VITE_BOT_USERNAME - This value contains the bot username. It is used to send export requests to the bot. Example: VITE_BOT_USERNAME=TeleOTPAppBot
• VITE_PLAUSIBLE_DOMAIN - The domain for Plausible analytics.
• VITE_PLAUSIBLE_API_HOST - API host to report Plausible analytics to.
• VITE_CHANNEL_LINK - Link to the news channel.
• VITE_APP_NAME - Name of the app for the URL.
  • For the app https://t.me/TeleOTPAppBot/app, app name is app
• VITE_TRANSLATE_LINK - Link to the translation website

To start the development server with hot reload, run:

npm run dev

After that, the server will be accessible on http:https://localhost:5173/

npm run dev -- --host

npm run build

After a successful build, app bundle will be available in ./dist.

The app is built and deployed automatically using Cloudflare Pages.

TeleOTP uses a helper bot to send user a link to the app and assist with account migration. The bot is written in Python using Python Telegram Bot library.

To start the bot, you have to run the main.py script with environment variables.

python main.py

• TOKEN - Telegram bot token provided by @BotFather
• TG_APP - A link to the Mini App in Telegram (e.g. https://t.me/TeleOTPAppBot/app)
• WEBAPP_URL - Deployed Mini App URL (e.g. https://uselessstudio.github.io/TeleOTP)

We recommend running the bot inside the Docker container. The latest image is available at ghcr.io/uselessstudio/teleotp-bot:main.

Example docker-compose.yml file:

services:
  bot:
    image: ghcr.io/uselessstudio/teleotp-bot:main
    restart: unless-stopped
    environment:
      - TG_APP=https://t.me/TeleOTPAppBot/app
      - WEBAPP_URL=https://uselessstudio.github.io/TeleOTP
      - TOKEN=<insert your token>

And running is as simple as:

docker compose up

GitHub Actions is used to automate the building of the bot container. The workflow is defined in the bot.yml file and ran on every push to main. After a successful build, the container is published in the GitHub Container Registry.

TeleOTP uses React Router to switch between pages. Routes are specified in the main.tsx file.

• Route implemented in Root.tsx is responsible for showing "required" screens:
  • PasswordSetup.tsx is a screen which is showed when no password is created. Alternatively, this screen is shown when user clicked a button to change the password. It displays a prompt to create a new password which is used to encrypt the accounts.
  • Decrypt.tsx is a screen which shows a password prompt to decrypt stored accounts. By default, it is shown only once on a new device. Later, the password retrieved from localStorage (if not disabled in the settings).
• Accounts.tsx is the main screen, which shows the generated password and a list of accounts that user has.
• NewAccount.tsx is a screen, which prompts user to open the QR-code scanner. Otherwise, user could press a button to enter an account manually, which would redirect them to ManualAccount.tsx
• ManualAccount.tsx prompts user to enter a secret for an OTP account.
• CreateAccount.tsx is a final step in the account creation flow. User is redirected here after scanning a QR-code or after manually providing a secret. This screen allows user to change issuer and label and to select an icon with a color for the account.
• EditAccount.tsx is a screen similar to CreateAccount.tsx which allows user to edit or delete an account.
• Settings.tsx is a menu screen with a few options. User can delete all accounts, encrypt them, change the password, or set preferences.
• ExportAccounts.tsx is a page that handles the export logic.
  • QrExport.tsx is a screen that provides a QR-code with account data.
  • LinkExport.tsx is a screen which allows to copy a link to import accounts.
• ResetAccounts.tsx is a page that verifies that the user wants to delete all accounts and reset the password. This page can be accessed through the settings, or by typing in the password incorrectly when decrypting.
• DevToolsPage.tsx is a debugging page, which allows checking the storage. (Only available in dev env)
• IconBrowser.tsx is a page for browsing icons from simpleicons.org. User is able to search for icons.

TeleOTP implements the otpauth-migration URI standard. During the migration, accounts are (de)serialized using Protocol Buffers.

All generic icons and colors for accounts are defined in the globals.tsx file. Available icons are exported in the icons const, colors are available in the colors const. Icon and Color types are provided for checking the validity of the corresponding item.

TeleOTP is officially translated only to Russian. If you have spare time and would like to help out the project, please add translations at Crowdin.

Currently supported languages:

• English (official)
• Russian (official)
• Ukrainian
• German
• French
• Spanish

If you need to add new strings:

1. Modify the file src/lang/en.ts to have a new string with a descriptive key.
   1. If a string needs to have variables, put them in braces like {this}
2. Use the useL10n() hook to get the translation.
