Versions:
totp-cli is a lightweight command-line utility developed by Victoria (Balazs) Nadasdi that streamlines the generation of Time-based One-Time Passwords, the backbone of most two-factor authentication systems. Designed for administrators, developers, and privacy-minded users who prefer terminal workflows, the tool keeps every 2FA token offline and organized through a customizable namespace hierarchy, while an optional master password encrypts the underlying database. Version 1.9.2 refines the earlier release and is one of two published builds, indicating steady but focused evolution rather than feature bloat. Typical use cases include scripting secure log-ins for cloud consoles, adding OTP prompts to CI/CD pipelines, or simply replacing heavier GUI authenticators on headless servers and development laptops. Because it operates entirely within a local shell, totp-cli eliminates the risk of vendor lock-in and reduces the attack surface associated with cloud-synced password managers. The program is classified under Security & Encryption software and integrates cleanly with existing dotfile repositories, making it equally practical for personal hardening or enterprise fleet deployment. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources (e.g. winget), always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
