pass-otp: Display a QR code using the OTP token stored in a pass file.
$ pass otp uri --qrcode ${path-to-pass}
try on your machine
This command is likely part of a command-line interface (CLI) tool for managing One-Time Password (OTP) tokens. Here is a breakdown of the command:
pass otp uri
: This is the main command, which is used to generate an OTP URI.--qrcode ${path-to-pass}
: This option is used to specify the path where the generated QR code image will be saved. The${path-to-pass}
is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual file path.
When you run this command, it will generate an OTP URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) which contains the necessary information for an OTP token. This URI can be used to add the OTP token to an authentication app. Additionally, a QR code image representing the OTP URI will be saved at the specified file path. This QR code can be scanned by an authentication app to easily add the OTP token.
