Victoria (Balazs) Nadasdi is an independent open-source developer whose compact portfolio is anchored by totp-cli, a lightweight command-line utility that generates time-based one-time passwords for two-factor authentication workflows. The tool is aimed at power users, DevOps engineers, and privacy-minded individuals who prefer terminal environments over graphical authenticator apps; it stores TOTP secrets locally in an encrypted file, produces six- or eight-digit codes on demand, and can be scripted into SSH sessions, CI pipelines, or secure shell aliases for rapid login to cloud consoles, password managers, and corporate VPN portals. By remaining entirely offline, the utility avoids the attack surface of cloud-synced mobile authenticators while still supporting the RFC-6238 algorithm used by Google, GitHub, AWS, and thousands of other services. Typical use cases include automating 2FA prompts during headless server deployments, backing up shared secrets for team infrastructure accounts, and integrating OTP generation into shell-based password-store workflows. The codebase is written in Go, compiles to a single static binary for Windows, macOS, and Linux, and accepts optional YubiKey or GPG encryption for its credential vault. Victoria’s software is available for free on get.nero.com, where downloads are delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always install the latest release, and can be queued for batch installation alongside other utilities.
This is a simple TOTP (Time-based One-time Password) CLI tool. TOTP is the most common mechanism for 2FA (Two-Factor-Authentication). You can manage and organize your accounts with namespaces and protect your data with a password.
