⚙️ Flags & Options

Flag Short Description Takes Value
--help -h Show help message and usage information No
-a Hash algorithm (sha1, sha256, sha512). Default: sha1 Yes
-j Output in JSON format No
-s Base32-encoded secret key for OTP generation Yes

💡 Usage Examples

# Generate a TOTP code with a base32 secret $ scorpiox-otp -s JBSWY3DPEHPK3PXP 492039
# Use SHA-256 algorithm instead of the default SHA-1 $ scorpiox-otp -s JBSWY3DPEHPK3PXP -a sha256 781204
# Use SHA-512 for higher security TOTP $ scorpiox-otp -s GEZDGNBVGY3TQOJQ -a sha512 350618
# Output in JSON format for scripting and automation $ scorpiox-otp -s JBSWY3DPEHPK3PXP -j {"code":"492039","algorithm":"sha1","period":30,"remaining":17}
# Combine JSON output with SHA-256 for API integration $ scorpiox-otp -s JBSWY3DPEHPK3PXP -a sha256 -j {"code":"781204","algorithm":"sha256","period":30,"remaining":12}
# Use in a shell script to auto-fill 2FA $ OTP=$(scorpiox-otp -s "$MY_SECRET") $ curl -X POST https://api.example.com/verify -d "token=$OTP"
# Pipe to clipboard (macOS) $ scorpiox-otp -s JBSWY3DPEHPK3PXP | pbcopy # Pipe to clipboard (Linux with xclip) $ scorpiox-otp -s JBSWY3DPEHPK3PXP | xclip -selection clipboard
# Show help and all available options $ scorpiox-otp --help
