[OATH-Toolkit-help] [sr #108846] oathtool should be able to read key from a file

[Andrew McGlashan]

Follow-up Comment #1, sr #108846 (project oath-toolkit):

Have a look at my implementation.

   User config file sample:

       http://ix.io/jvC

       (is stored as ~USERNAME/.oathtool.conf)

    Python script:

       http://ix.io/jvD

       (store somewhere in user path, suggest /usr/local/bin)

    Requires:
        python-gnupg


Create the secret files as follows:

  $  echo -en "secretstring" | 
         gpg -e -a -o servicename.gpg -r YOURGPGKEY_OR_EMAIL
  (NB: use space before echo so as to not enter history)

  Or you could just create the gpg file with symmetric encryption...

  Make sure that you don't include a trailing line feed for the secret!

  Obviously using "-a" for ASCII armour is optional....


Enjoy.
