# totp-lite
A simple, correct TOTP library.
Time-based One-time Passwords are a useful way to authenticate a client,
since a valid password expires long before it could ever be guessed by an
attacker. This library provides an implementation of TOTP that matches its
specification [RFC6238], along with a simple interface.
## Usage
The `totp` function is likely what you need. It uses the default time step
of 30 seconds and produces 8 digits of output:
```rust
use std::time::{SystemTime, UNIX_EPOCH};
use totp_lite::{totp, Sha512};
// Negotiated between you and the authenticating service.
let password: &[u8] = b"secret";
// The number of seconds since the Unix Epoch.
let seconds: u64 = SystemTime::now().duration_since(UNIX_EPOCH).unwrap().as_secs();
// Specify the desired Hash algorithm via a type parameter.
// `Sha1` and `Sha256` are also available.
let result: String = totp::<Sha512>(password, seconds);
assert_eq!(8, result.len());
```
For full control over how the algorithm is configured, consider
`totp_custom`.
