These options apply to both TOTP and HOTP strategies.

Properties

algorithm?

optional algorithm?: HashAlgorithm

Defined in: otplib/src/types.ts:79

Hash algorithm (default: 'sha1')

---

base32?

optional base32?: Base32Plugin

Defined in: otplib/src/types.ts:69

Base32 plugin to use (default: ScureBase32Plugin)

---

counter?

optional counter?: number

Defined in: otplib/src/types.ts:108

Counter value Used by HOTP strategy (required)

---

crypto?

optional crypto?: CryptoPlugin

Defined in: otplib/src/types.ts:64

Crypto plugin to use (default: NobleCryptoPlugin)

---

digits?

optional digits?: Digits

Defined in: otplib/src/types.ts:84

Number of digits (default: 6)

---

epoch?

optional epoch?: number

Defined in: otplib/src/types.ts:96

Current Unix epoch timestamp in seconds (default: now) Used by TOTP strategy

---

guardrails?

optional guardrails?: OTPGuardrails

Defined in: otplib/src/types.ts:74

Validation guardrails

---

hooks?

optional hooks?: OTPHooks

Defined in: otplib/src/types.ts:115

Hooks for customizing token encoding and validation. Allows non-standard OTP variants (e.g., Steam Guard) to replace the default numeric encoding with custom schemes.

---

secret

secret: string | Uint8Array

Defined in: otplib/src/types.ts:52

---

strategy?

optional strategy?: OTPStrategy

Defined in: otplib/src/types.ts:59

OTP strategy to use (default: 'totp')

• 'totp': Time-based OTP
• 'hotp': HMAC-based OTP

---

t0?

optional t0?: number

Defined in: otplib/src/types.ts:102

Initial Unix time to start counting time steps (default: 0) Used by TOTP strategy
