# otp plugin This plugin allows you to create one-time passwords using [`oathtool`](https://www.nongnu.org/oath-toolkit/man-oathtool.html), able to replace MFA devices. The oathtool key is kept in a GPG-encrypted file so the codes can only be generated by a user able to decrypt it. To use it, add `otp` to the plugins array in your zshrc file: ```zsh plugins=(... otp) ``` Provided aliases: - `otp_add_device`: creates a new encrypted storage for an oathtool key and stores it on the disk. For encrypting the key, it will ask for a GPG user ID (your GPG key's email address). Then the OTP key needs to be pasted, followed by a CTRL+D character inserted on an empty line. - `ot`: generates a MFA code based on the given key and copies it to the clipboard (on Linux it relies on xsel, on MacOS X it uses pbcopy instead). The plugin uses `$HOME/.otp` to store its internal files.
