  18  // Package otp implements both HOTP and TOTP based
  19  // one time passcodes in a Google Authenticator compatible manner.
  20  //
  21  // When adding a TOTP for a user, you must store the "secret" value
  22  // persistently. It is recommended to store the secret in an encrypted field in your
  23  // datastore.  Due to how TOTP works, it is not possible to store a hash
  24  // for the secret value like you would a password.
  25  //
  26  // To enroll a user, you must first generate an OTP for them.  Google
  27  // Authenticator supports using a QR code as an enrollment method:
  28  //
  29  //	import (
  30  //		"github.com/pquerna/otp/totp"
  31  //
  32  //		"bytes"
  33  //		"image/png"
  34  //	)
  35  //
  36  //	key, err := totp.Generate(totp.GenerateOpts{
  37  //			Issuer: "Example.com",
  38  //			AccountName: "alice@example.com",
  39  //	})
  40  //
  41  //	// Convert TOTP key into a QR code encoded as a PNG image.
  42  //	var buf bytes.Buffer
  43  //	img, err := key.Image(200, 200)
  44  //	png.Encode(&buf, img)
  45  //
  46  //	// display the QR code to the user.
  47  //	display(buf.Bytes())
  48  //
  49  //	// Now Validate that the user's successfully added the passcode.
  50  //	passcode := promptForPasscode()
  51  //	valid := totp.Validate(passcode, key.Secret())
  52  //
  53  //	if valid {
  54  //		// User successfully used their TOTP, save it to your backend!
  55  //		storeSecret("alice@example.com", key.Secret())
  56  //	}
  57  //
  58  // Validating a TOTP passcode is very easy, just prompt the user for a passcode
  59  // and retrieve the associated user's previously stored secret.
  60  //
  61  //	import "github.com/pquerna/otp/totp"
  62  //
  63  //	passcode := promptForPasscode()
  64  //	secret := getSecret("alice@example.com")
  65  //
  66  //	valid := totp.Validate(passcode, secret)
  67  //
  68  //	if valid {
  69  //		// Success! continue login process.
  70  //	}
