TOTP Code Generator is a free online Security Tools tool that generate RFC 6238 time-based one-time passwords from a Base32 secret, with the otpauth URI instantly in your browser. Paste your data, adjust the options and get the result in real time — no installation, no sign-up, and nothing is ever uploaded to a server.
Description
Generate RFC 6238 time-based one-time passwords from a Base32 secret, with the otpauth URI.
- Security Tools

How to use
Using TOTP Code Generator takes three steps:
- Paste your data into the input box (or load the example).
- Configure the options to match your target format or scenario.
- Copy, download or inspect the output — it updates live as you type.
Run
Examples
The classic Base32 test secret. Set the Unix time override to 59 and 8 digits to reproduce the RFC 6238 test vector 94287082.
Input
JBSWY3DPEHPK3PXP
Output
Current code 032522 (valid 21s more) Previous 274531 Next 374108 Unix time 1789309779 Time step 59643659 (counter = floor(time / 30)) Algorithm HMAC-SHA-1 Digits 6 Period 30s Secret JBSWY3DPEHPK3PXP (10 bytes after Base32 decode) otpauth:// URI (for authenticator apps and QR generators) otpauth://totp/26173?secret=JBSWY3DPEHPK3PXP&issuer=26173&algorithm=SHA1&digits=6&period=30 RFC 6238: the counter is the 30-second step since the Unix epoch, big-endian, HMAC'd with the shared secret; 4 bytes are extracted by dynamic truncation. Everything is computed in your browser — the secret is never transmitted.
