pot
An Erlang library for generating Google Authenticator compatible HMAC-based (HOTP) and time-based (TOTP) one-time passwords.
What is pot?
POT is an Erlang library for generating one-time passwords (OTPs) that are compatible with Google Authenticator. It implements the HMAC-based (HOTP) and time-based (TOTP) algorithms as defined in RFC 4226 and RFC 6238, providing a reliable solution for two-factor authentication in Erlang and Elixir applications.
Erlang and Elixir developers building applications that require two-factor authentication (2FA) or secure one-time password generation, such as authentication systems, APIs, or services needing OTP compatibility with standards like Google Authenticator.
Developers choose POT for its strict compliance with RFC standards, cross-language compatibility within the Erlang VM ecosystem, and its direct translation from the well-regarded Python OneTimePass library, ensuring reliability and ease of integration.
