# otpprint(1)

print lists of one-time passwords

## NAME

**otpprint** – print lists of one-time passwords

## SYNOPSIS

**otp** \[**-n** *count*\] \[**-e**\] \[**-h**\] \[**-f** *algorithm*\] *sequence-number* *seed*

## DESCRIPTION

The **otpprint** program prints lists of OTPs.

Use this to print out a series of one-time passwords.  You will have to supply the *sequence* *number* and the *seed* as arguments and then the program will prompt you for your pass-phrase.

There are several different print formats.  The default is to print each password with six short english words.

Options are:

- **-e**

  Print the passwords in \`\`extended'' format.  In this format a prefix that says \`\`hex:'' or \`\`word:'' is included.

- **-f**

  To choose a different *algorithm* from the default md5.  Pick any of: md4, md5, and sha.

- **-h**

  Print the passwords in hex.

- **-n**

  Print *count* one-time passwords, starting at *sequence-number* and going backwards. The default is 10.
