# NimbleTOTP

This library allows developers to implement Time-based One-Time Passwords (TOTP)
for their applications as one of the mechanisms for Two-factor authentication (2FA).

It provides functions to:

  * Generate secrets composed of random bytes.
  * Generate URIs to be encoded in a QR Code.
  * Generate Time-Based One-Time Passwords for a secret.

Documentation can be found at https://hexdocs.pm/nimble_totp.

## Installation

You can install `nimble_totp` by adding it to your list of
dependencies in `mix.exs`:

```elixir
def deps do
  [
    {:nimble_totp, "~> 0.1.0"}
  ]
end
```

## Usage

Generating a secret composed of random bytes:

```elixir
secret = NimbleTOTP.secret()
#=> <<63, 24, 42, 30, 95, 116, 80, 121, 106, 102>>
```

Generating a URI to be encoded in a QR Code:

```elixir
NimbleTOTP.otpauth_uri("Acme:alice", secret, issuer: "Acme")
#=> "otpauth://totp/Acme:alice?secret=MFRGGZA&issuer=Acme"
```

Generating a Time-Based One-Time Password for a secret and validating it:

```elixir
NimbleTOTP.verification_code(secret)
#=> "569777"

NimbleTOTP.valid?(secret, "569777")
#=> true
```
