Package Overview

Package selection guidance compiled from public package information, community data, and project usage.

A Dart library implementing RFC 6238 Time-Based One-Time Password (TOTP) algorithm, compatible with Google Authenticator and other TOTP-compatible apps. It enables secure, time-limited authentication codes for two-factor authentication (2FA). The package supports generating and validating OTPs across multiple platforms including Android, iOS, Web, macOS, Windows, and Linux. Ideal for integrating 2FA into Flutter applications with minimal setup.

Use cases

  • Two-factor authentication in mobile apps
  • Secure login systems with 2FA
  • Integration with Google Authenticator
  • Generating time-limited access codes
  • User account verification
  • Backup code generation

Key features

  • RFC 6238 compliant TOTP implementation
  • Cross-platform support
  • Simple OTP generation and validation
  • Supports custom time steps and digits
  • Compatible with authenticator apps
  • Lightweight and dependency-free

Suitable for

  • Apps requiring 2FA
  • Authentication services
  • Security-focused applications
  • Developers building secure login flows
  • Integrating with existing TOTP systems

Considerations

  • Requires proper time synchronization
  • Does not handle QR code generation
  • No built-in user interface
  • Manual handling of secret key storage
  • Not suitable for long-term token storage

MAJOR BEHAVIOR CHANGE IN 3.1.0: Explanation of Changes from 3.0 to 3.1

Dart

dart-otp

RFC4226/RFC6238 One-Time Password / Google Authenticator Library

Features:

Getting Started

Pubspec

pub.dartlang.org: (you can use 'any' instead of a version if you just want the latest always)

dependencies:
  otp: 3.2.0
import 'package:otp/otp.dart';

Start generating tokens.

// Generate TOTP code. (String versin of function incase of leading 0)
OTP.generateTOTPCodeString("JBSWY3DPEHPK3PXP", 1362302550000); // -> '505548'

// Generate HOTP Code.
OTP.generateHOTPCodeString("JBSWY3DPEHPK3PXP", 7); // -> '006676'

API

Notes

This library does not support any other secret input other than Base32. It is what is used standard most places, and by Google Authenticator. If your secrets are not Base32 forms, please use my Base32 library (the one I use as a dependency for this library) or any other base32 library to encode your secret before passing it into the functions. All generate functions force decode of Base32.

Global Settings

useTOTPPaddingForHOTP (bool, default: false) Uses the TOTP padding method for handling secrets bigger or smaller than the mandatory sizes for SHA256/SHA512. This is needed as HOTP does not have an official method of using SHA256 or SHA512 in the RFC spec and most libraries don't pad HOTP for use with SHA256 or SHA512. (examples: otplib and speakeasy from Node.js)

If you enable this, it will use the same padding as TOTP (repeating the secret to the right length) but might cause incompatibilies with other libraries. I am defaulting to no padding, as this is the predominant behavior I am finding for HOTP.

OTP.generateTOTPCode(String secret, int currentTime, {int length: 6, int interval: 30, Algorithm algorithm: Algorithm.SHA256, bool isGoogle: false})

Generate a code for the provided secret and time.

  • secret - (String) A Base32 String.
  • currentTime - (int) The current time in milliseconds.
  • length - (int) The length of the resulting code.
  • interval - (int) Refresh interval to get a new code.
  • algorithm - (Algorithm) Hashing method.
  • isGoogle - (bool) flag to turn off secret padding for Google Auth.

Returns an int code. Does not preserve leading zeros.

OTP.generateTOTPCodeString(String secret, int currentTime, {int length: 6, int interval: 30, Algorithm algorithm: Algorithm.SHA256, bool isGoogle: false})

Generate a code for the provided secret and time.

  • secret - (String) A Base32 String.
  • currentTime - (int) The current time in milliseconds.
  • length - (int) The length of the resulting code.
  • interval - (int) Refresh interval to get a new code.
  • algorithm - (Algorithm) Hashing method.
  • isGoogle - (bool) flag to turn off secret padding for Google Auth.

Returns an String code. Preserves leading zeros.

OTP.generateHOTPCode(String secret, int counter, {int length: 6})

Generate a code for the provided secret and time.

  • secret - (String) A Base32 String.
  • counter - (int) An int counter.
  • length - (int) the length of the resulting code.

Returns an int code. Does not preserve leading zeros

OTP.generateHOTPCodeString(String secret, int counter, {int length: 6})

Generate a code for the provided secret and time.

  • secret - (String) A Base32 String.
  • counter - (int) An int counter.
  • length - (int) the length of the resulting code.

Returns an String code. Preserves leading zeros

OTP.constantTimeVerification(final String code, final String othercode)

!DISCLAIMER! I can only get this to be within 1 millisecond between different codes and same codes. I have yet to get them to be equal. but 1 millisecond should be an OK room for error though.

Compares 2 codes in constant time to minimize risk of timing attacks.

  • code - (String) A Base32 String.
  • othercode - (String) A Base32 String.

Returns an bool if they match or not.

OTP.remainingSeconds({int interval = 30})

This will return the remaining seconds based on the lastUsedTime variable, that is only set when using generateTOTP* functions.

  • interval - (int) The interval you are using for your codes, defaults to the standard 30 seconds.

Returns an int of the remaining seconds.
