This code snippet shows an implementation of two factor authentication. - It uses the library otp - It generates and verifies a totp - It creates a provisioning uri for the user
Initial setup:
pip install pyotp
import pyotp
def generate_second_factor():
shared_secret = pyotp.random_base32()
return pyotp.TOTP(shared_secret)
def generate_uri(second_factor, user_mail):
return second_factor.provisioning_uri(user_mail, issuer_name="Your Secure App")
def main():
second_factor = generate_second_factor()
print(second_factor.verify(second_factor.now()))
user_mail = "alice@google.com"
provisioning_uri = generate_uri(second_factor, user_mail)
print(provisioning_uri)
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
