 A ruby library for generating and validating one time passwords (HOTP & TOTP) according to [RFC 4226](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4226) and [RFC 6238](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6238).
 
 ROTP is compatible with [Google Authenticator](https://github.com/google/google-authenticator) available for [Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.authenticator2) and [iPhone](https://itunes.apple.com/en/app/google-authenticator/id388497605) and any other TOTP based implementations.

 ```
 
 This can then be rendered as a QR Code which the user can scan using their mobile phone and the appropriate application.
