The "oath-toolkit" package provides the oathtool command line utility to generate the timed one time passwords given the secret key you are assigned from the site:
$ oathtool --totp --base32 KEY
interesting, but what is this "KEY"??
For example, when PayPal asks me to give a number sent by mail or sms, how can I find this "KEY"?
thanks jdd
The sites will have either (or both) a image to scan OR if you can't scan -- they will give you a KEY which is what the QC image would resolve to. It's just a ASCII, hex or base32 string of characters. That string you get from the QC image or that the site spits out if you can't scan the image is the "KEY". -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
