Description

One-time password generation helps applications implement authenticator-code workflows such as TOTP and HOTP. This is the kind of code used for two-factor login prompts and rotating verification codes.

Developers use the library inside authentication tools or services; end users normally see it only through another app. Software handling these secrets should protect key material carefully and avoid logging generated credentials.
