OTPClient

Highly secure and easy to use GTK+ software for two-factor authentication that supports both Time-based One-time Passwords (TOTP) and HMAC-Based One-Time Passwords (HOTP).

Requirements

⚠️ Please note that the memlock value should be >= 4 MB. Any value less than this may cause issues when dealing with tens of tokens (especially when importing from third parties backups). See this wiki section for info on how to check the current value and set, if needed, a higher one.

Features

• integration with the OS' secret service provider via libsecret
• support both TOTP and HOTP
• support setting custom digits (between 4 and 10 inclusive)
• support setting a custom period (between 10 and 120 seconds inclusive)
• support SHA1, SHA256 and SHA512 algorithms
• support for Steam codes (please read THIS PAGE)
• import and export encrypted/plain andOTP backup
• import and export encrypted/plain Aegis backup
• import and export plain FreeOTPPlus backup (key URI format only)
• import of Google's migration QR codes
• local database is encrypted using AES256-GCM
  • key is derived using PBKDF2 with SHA512 and 100k iterations
  • decrypted file is never saved (and hopefully never swapped) to disk. While the app is running, the decrypted content resides in a "secure memory" buffer allocated by Gcrypt

Testing

• Before each release, I run PVS Studio and Coverity in order to catch even more bugs.
• With every commit to master, OTPClient is compiled in CircleCI against different distros

Protobuf

The protobuf files needed to decode Google's otpauth-migration qr codes have been generated with protoc --c_out=src/ proto/google-migration.proto
