Python 3.13.0a1 : How to use PyOTP for Microsoft Authenticator.

PyOTP is a Python library for generating and verifying one-time passwords. It can be used to implement two-factor (2FA) or multi-factor (MFA) authentication methods in web applications and in other systems that require users to log in.

I teste with Microsoft Authenticator from Google play.

Install with pip tool and use this source code:

import pyotp

# Generare secret pentru utilizator
secret = pyotp.random_base32()

# Generare URL pentru codul QR
uri = pyotp.totp.TOTP(secret).provisioning_uri(name="UtilizatorExemplu", issuer_name="NumeServer")

# Exemplu de folosire a URI-ului într-o aplicație web sau pentru a genera un cod QR
print("Scanati urmatorul QR code in aplicatia Microsoft Authenticator:")
print(uri)

I run the python script:

python test_001.py
Scanati urmatorul QR code in aplicatia Microsoft Authenticator:
otpauth://totp/NumeServer:UtilizatorExemplu?secret=SPZICPQHAMWOIYCAZEHXZTPQDXEXZSWL&issuer=NumeServer

I used the uri output with one online tool to generate this QR image code and I tested with the aplication.

The account is added with NumeServer and UtilizatorExemplu.
