About this project

ESP32_TOTP is a powerful, compact TOTP generator designed for two-factor authentication. Built on the ESP32 platform, it features an OLED display and synchronizes with an RTC module for precise timekeeping. The device offers configurable WiFi settings and a user-friendly web interface, making it ideal for enhancing security in everyday applications.

Overview

ESP32_TOTP is a compact and secure Time-Based One-Time Password (TOTP) generator based on the ESP32 platform. This device is ideal for enhancing security in two-factor authentication (2FA) systems, such as Google Authenticator. By displaying time-sensitive codes on a small OLED screen and synchronizing with a Real-Time Clock (RTC) module, it offers reliable and accurate two-factor authentication for various applications.

Key Features

TOTP Code Generation: Generates 6-digit TOTP codes compliant with RFC 6238, ensuring reliable security for authentication processes.
Quick Assembly: The assembly and firmware flashing process can be completed in approximately 15 minutes.
Long Battery Life: Designed for battery operation, with a life span of 2-3 months depending on the battery used.
OLED Display: Features an SSD1306 128x64 I2C OLED display for clear visibility of generated codes.
Charging Module: Integrated with an IP5310 battery charging module for convenient recharging.
Accurate Timekeeping: Utilizes a DS3231 Real-Time Clock (RTC) module, ensuring precise time synchronization.
Compact Design: Built on an ESP32-C3 SuperMini, minimizing hardware footprint without compromising functionality.

Software Functionality

Configurable WiFi Settings: Allows for easy configuration of AP WiFi and password via a web-based interface utilizing a captive portal.
Security Features: Includes a safeguard that resets secrets upon three unsuccessful pin code entry attempts, enhancing device security.
