Attention all developers! Are you tired of juggling between your terminal and Google Authenticator whenever you need to login to SSH or other platforms with a Time-Based One-Time Password (TOTP)? Well, fear no more! I present to you Terminal TOTP Manager, the superhero tool that saves the day by bringing TOTPs right to your command line. Let’s dive into this epic tale of laziness turned innovation and discover how this handy tool can revolutionize your developer life.
Embracing the Developer’s Lair
As developers, we spend countless hours in our terminal caves, crafting lines of code that shape the digital world. But those pesky TOTPs often disrupt our flow, forcing us to venture out of the terminal to retrieve them from external apps. Terminal TOTP Manager comes to the rescue, eliminating the need for such distractions. Now you can manage your TOTPs without leaving the sacred realm of the terminal.
My Mind: You should quit programming and join sales😂
Long story short, I was so frustrated jumping between authenticator app & terminal for totps and also wanted to know how TOTPs actually work. Instead of reading articles or watching youtube videos, I directly went to RFC for docs,read it and build a small tool that manage the TOTP in the terminal itself.
If you found this tool interesting or wanna check out how it works. Here’s the repo link 👉🏻 link — A star could make my day 😁😁
