## Motivation



- [Why you shouldn’t scan two-factor authentication QR codes!](https://medium.com/crypto-punks/why-you-shouldnt-scan-two-factor-authentication-qr-codes-e2a44876a524)

- As a means of learning the Rust programming language.

- Easier to copy the OTP code from my terminal to the login form, rather than from

my phone to my laptop.



## Example





    




## Installation



To install `cloak`, you can do either of the following:



1. **Binaries**



    You can download the binaries [here](https://github.com/evansmurithi/cloak/releases).

    Make sure to put the path to the binary into your `PATH`.



    Alternatively, you can install `cloak` via the [scoop package manager](https://scoop.sh) with the following command:



    ```powershell

    scoop install cloak

    ```



2. **Crates.io**



    Once you've installed Rust, install `cloak` by typing the following in the terminal:



    ```bash

    cargo install cloak

    ```



    This will download and compile `cloak`. After this is finished, add the Cargo

    bin directory to your `PATH`.



## Usage



The sub-commands included in `cloak` are as follows:



```bash

$ cloak -h

cloak 0.1.0

USAGE:

    cloak [SUBCOMMAND]



FLAGS:

    -h, --help       Prints help information

    -V, --version    Prints version information



SUBCOMMANDS:

    add               Add a new account

    delete            Delete an account

    help              Prints this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)

    list              List OTP for all accounts

    view              View the OTP for an account

```



To view the help of any of the subcommands below, add `-h` or `--help`, e.g. `cloak add -h`.



- `cloak add  `



    This will add a new account. You will need to provide the name of the account

    as well as valid base32 encoded key. Example:



    ```bash

    $ cloak add github 4AZJFQFIGYM2KMTOO72I6FAOZ6ZFWJR6

    ```



- `cloak view `



    This will print the TOTP/HOTP of the account you want to view. Example:



    ```bash

    $ cloak view github

    123456

    ```



- `cloak list`



    This prints all the accounts with their respective TOTP/HOTP codes. Example:



    ```bash

    $ cloak list

    Account: github

    TOTP: 607091



    Account: gitlab

    TOTP: 325414

    ```



- `cloak delete `



    This will delete an account. Once deleted, you cannot view the OTP codes for

    the account. Example:



    ```bash

    $ cloak delete github

    Account successfully deleted

    $ cloak view github

    Account with the name 'github' does not exist. Consider adding it.

    ```



## Customization



By default `cloak` stores your accounts and recovery codes inside a `.cloak/`

directory found inside your `$HOME` folder if you are on Linux or macOS, or

inside your user profile folder if you are on Windows.



To alter this, you can use the `CLOAK_ACCOUNTS_DIR` environment variable to

point `cloak` to the directory to use for storing your accounts and recovery

codes:



```bash

export CLOAK_ACCOUNTS_DIR='/save/accounts/here/'  # absolute path

```



## Contributions



If you want to contribute to `cloak` you will have to clone the repository on your

local machine:



```bash

$ git clone https://github.com/evansmurithi/cloak.git

```



To build, `cd` into `cloak/` and run:



```bash

$ cargo build

```



To run tests:



```bash

$ cargo test

```
