Google Authenticator
====================
Installation
------------
With a Go environment already set up, it should be as easy as `go get github.com/pcarrier/gauth`.
*Eg,* with `GOPATH=$HOME/go`, it will create a binary `$HOME/go/bin/gauth`.
Usage
-----
- In web interfaces, pretend you can't read QR codes, get a secret like `hret 3ij7 kaj4 2jzg` instead.
- Store your secrets as a JSON object in `~/.config/gauth.json`, for example:
{
"AWS": "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ234567ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ234567",
"Airbnb": "abcdefghijklmnop",
"Google": "a2b3c4d5e6f7g8h9",
"Github": "234567qrstuvwxyz"
}
- Restrict access to your user:
$ chmod 600 ~/.config/gauth.json
- Run `gauth`. The progress bar shows when the next change will happen.
~$ gauth
prev curr next
AWS 315306 135387 483601
Airbnb 563728 339206 904549
Google 453564 477615 356846
Github 911264 548790 784099

- Remember to keep your system clock synchronized and to **lock your computer when brewing your tea**!
Rooted Android?
---------------
If your Android phone is rooted, it's easy to "back up" your secrets from an `adb shell` into `gauth`.
# sqlite3 /data/data/com.google.android.apps.authenticator2/databases/database 'select email,secret from accounts'
