NAME¶
URI::otpauth - URI scheme for secret keys for OTP secrets. Usually found in QR codes
VERSION¶
Version 5.29
SYNOPSIS¶
use URI; # optauth URI from textual uri my $uri = URI->new( 'otpauth://totp/Example:alice@google.com?secret=NFZS25DINFZV643VOAZXELLTGNRXEM3UH4&issuer=Example' ); # same URI but created from arguments my $uri = URI::otpauth->new( type => 'totp', issuer => 'Example', account_name => 'alice@google.com', secret => 'is-this_sup3r-s3cr3t?' );
DESCRIPTION¶
This URI scheme is defined in <https://github.com/google/google-authenticator/wiki/Key-Uri-Format/>:
SUBROUTINES/METHODS¶
"new"¶
Create a new URI::otpauth. The available arguments are listed below;
- account_name - this can be the account name (probably an email address) used when authenticating with this secret. It is an optional field.
- algorithm - this is the cryptographic hash function <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptographic_hash_function> that should be used. Current values are SHA1 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-1>, SHA256 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-2> or SHA512 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-2>. It is an optional field and will default to SHA1.
- counter - this is only required when the type is HOTP.
- digits - this determines the length <https://github.com/google/google-authenticator/wiki/Key-Uri-Format/#digits> of the code presented to the user. It is an optional field and will default to 6 digits.
- issuer - this can be the application / system <https://github.com/google/google-authenticator/wiki/Key-Uri-Format/#issuer> that this secret can be used to authenticate to. It is an optional field.
- label - this is the issuer and the account name <https://github.com/google/google-authenticator/wiki/Key-Uri-Format/#label> joined with a ":" character. It is an optional field.
- period - this is the period that the TOTP code is valid for <https://github.com/google/google-authenticator/wiki/Key-Uri-Format/#counter>. It is an optional field and will default to 30 seconds.
- secret - this is the key <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_(cryptography)> that the TOTP <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-based_one-time_password>/HOTP <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMAC-based_one-time_password> algorithm uses to derive the value. It is an arbitrary byte string and must remain private. This field is mandatory.
- type - this can be 'hotp <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMAC-based_one-time_password>' or 'totp <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-based_one-time_password>'. This field will default to 'totp'.
