OTPAuth
One Time Password (HOTP/TOTP) library for Node.js, Deno, Bun and browsers.
Usage
Node.js
import * as OTPAuth from "otpauth";
// Create a new TOTP object.
let totp = new OTPAuth.TOTP({
// Provider or service the account is associated with.
issuer: "ACME",
// Account identifier.
label: "AzureDiamond",
// Algorithm used for the HMAC function.
algorithm: "SHA1",
// Length of the generated tokens.
digits: 6,
// Interval of time for which a token is valid, in seconds.
period: 30,
// Arbitrary key encoded in Base32 or OTPAuth.Secret instance.
secret: "NB2W45DFOIZA", // or 'OTPAuth.Secret.fromBase32("NB2W45DFOIZA")'
});
// A cryptographically secure random secret can also be generated with:
let secret = new OTPAuth.Secret({ size: 20 });
// Generate a token (returns the current token as a string).
let token = totp.generate();
// Validate a token (returns the token delta or null if it is not found in the
// search window, in which case it should be considered invalid).
let delta = totp.validate({ token, window: 1 });
// Get the remaining seconds until the current token changes.
let seconds = totp.period - (Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000) % totp.period);
// Convert to Google Authenticator key URI format (usually the URI is encoded
// in a QR code that can be scanned by the user. This functionality is outside
// the scope of the project, but there are many libraries that can be used for
// this purpose).
//
// otpauth://totp/ACME:AzureDiamond?issuer=ACME&secret=NB2W45DFOIZA&algorithm=SHA1&digits=6&period=30
let uri = totp.toString(); // or 'OTPAuth.URI.stringify(totp)'
// Convert from Google Authenticator key URI format.
totp = OTPAuth.URI.parse(uri);
Deno
import * as OTPAuth from "https://deno.land/x/otpauth@VERSION/dist/otpauth.esm.js";
// Same as above.
Bun
import * as OTPAuth from "otpauth";
// Same as above.

Supported hashing algorithms
In Node.js, the same algorithms as
Crypto.createHmac
function are supported, since it is used internally. In Deno, Bun and browsers, the SHA1
, SHA224
, SHA256
, SHA384
,
SHA512
, SHA3-224
, SHA3-256
, SHA3-384
and SHA3-512
algorithms are supported by using the
@noble/hashes library.
