totp-cli VS gauth

I went looking for one recently and mostly settled on this one for now: https://github.com/yitsushi/totp-cli

However, if you are just looking for a CLI to use maybe, you can find the best one there is here: https://github.com/yitsushi/totp-cli

Several options...

Not exactly the same, but if you're using Bitwarden (which is compatible with generating TOTP tokens) to manage your passwords, you can use their bitwarden-cli tool to request tokens from the cli: https://bitwarden.com/help/cli/#get

But if you want the simplest cli thing, you can probably can use this golang ( https://github.com/yitsushi/totp-cli ) or this python ( https://github.com/WhyNotHugo/totp-cli ) implementations.

totp-cli written in Go

I use https://github.com/pcarrier/gauth

It relies on file permissions so is not exactly robustly secure (no idea about RAM vulnerabilities etc).

As per the author, I consider my laptop the fundamental point of vulnerability. If someone else gets access to it, I'll know and I'll hit the metaphorical panic button :)

I was able to take a screenshot of GAuth backups on iPhone using the button hotkeys(IE: Power+Volume up). I setup a container that runs a go version of GAuth and used a python script to decrypt the (decrypted QR code) backup keys. Then I backed up the encrypted keyfile to offline disk, encrypted the container backup and deleted it from the hypervisor.

No, thank you, especially if Google is going to be the gatekeeper.
