That’s why I built this project: a TOTP (Time-based One-Time Password) generator tool available as both a command-line interface and a lightweight frontend. It lets you instantly generate TOTP codes from a saved secret—no phone required. What I Built I built a TOTP (Time-based One-Time Password) generator tool that runs on both the command line and a simple frontend web interface. This tool solves the problem of securely generating one-time passwords commonly used in 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication) systems. ⚙️ CLI tool: Instantly generates TOTP codes from a shared secret via terminal. It supports auto-copying the generated code using the clipboard.

Context

We all know that Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is essential for securing our accounts.

Worse, what if your phone is de*d, lost, or simply not nearby? You’re locked out.

That’s why I built this project: a TOTP (Time-based One-Time Password) generator tool available as both a command-line interface and a lightweight frontend.

It lets you instantly generate TOTP codes from a saved secret—no phone required.
