GOTP is a Golang package for generating and verifying one-time passwords. It can be used to implement two-factor (2FA) or multi-factor (MFA) authentication methods in anywhere that requires users to log in.
Open MFA standards are defined in RFC 4226 (HOTP: An HMAC-Based One-Time Password Algorithm) and in RFC 6238 (TOTP: Time-Based One-Time Password Algorithm). GOTP implements server-side support for both of these standards.
GOTP was inspired by PyOTP.

totp := gotp.NewDefaultTOTP("4S62BZNFXXSZLCRO")
totp.Now() // current otp '123456'
totp.At(1524486261) // otp of timestamp 1524486261 '123456'
# OTP verified for a given timestamp
totp.Verify('492039', 1524486261) // true
totp.Verify('492039', 1520000000) // false
// generate a provisioning uri
totp.ProvisioningUri("demoAccountName", "issuerName")
// otpauth:https://totp/issuerName:demoAccountName?secret=4S62BZNFXXSZLCRO&issuer=issuerNamehotp := gotp.NewDefaultHOTP("4S62BZNFXXSZLCRO")
hotp.At(0) // '944181'
hotp.At(1) // '770975'
// OTP verified for a given timestamp
hotp.Verify('944181', 0) // true
hotp.Verify('944181', 1) // false
// generate a provisioning uri
hotp.ProvisioningUri("demoAccountName", "issuerName", 1)
// otpauth:https://hotp/issuerName:demoAccountName?secret=4S62BZNFXXSZLCRO&counter=1&issuer=issuerNamesecretLength := 16
gotp.RandomSecret(secretLength) // LMT4URYNZKEWZRAAGOTP works with the Google Authenticator iPhone and Android app, as well as other OTP apps like Authy.
GOTP includes the ability to generate provisioning URIs for use with the QR Code
scanner built into these MFA client apps via otpObj.ProvisioningUri method:
gotp.NewDefaultTOTP("4S62BZNFXXSZLCRO").ProvisioningUri("demoAccountName", "issuerName")
// otpauth:https://totp/issuerName:demoAccountName?secret=4S62BZNFXXSZLCRO&issuer=issuerName
gotp.NewDefaultHOTP("4S62BZNFXXSZLCRO").ProvisioningUri("demoAccountName", "issuerName", 1)
// otpauth:https://hotp/issuerName:demoAccountName?secret=4S62BZNFXXSZLCRO&counter=1&issuer=issuerNameThis URL can then be rendered as a QR Code which can then be scanned and added to the users list of OTP credentials.
Scan the following barcode with your phone's OTP app (e.g. Google Authenticator):
Now run the following and compare the output:
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/xlzd/gotp"
)
func main() {
fmt.Println("Current OTP is", gotp.NewDefaultTOTP("4S62BZNFXXSZLCRO").Now())
