Working on user authentication for a small app, and I can’t quite figure out how to manage hotp properly. Most guides online talk about totp instead, which is time-based, but I’d rather stick with counter-based tokens. Does anyone have real experience using hotp and can suggest a good method or tool to make it easier?
Had a similar struggle when first diving into token authentication. After trying a few scattered solutions, I came across otp tokens . otp mfa and it made things way simpler. It explains hotp and totp in detail and gives you straightforward examples of integration. What’s great is how flexible it is—you can generate tokens across multiple devices, and the MFA setup is quite intuitive. If you’re new to this, I’d definitely start there, it’s beginner-friendly but still powerful.
Reading this makes me realize I’m not the only one trying to understand these systems. I always thought implementing one-time passwords would be too advanced, but this recommendation sounds approachable. I might explore it too and see how it fits into my current project.
