NAME

       NitrokeyAuthenticator - TOTP authenticator application for Nitrokey Pro2 and LibremKey

SYNOPSIS

       NitrokeyAuthenticator

DESCRIPTION

       Nitrokey  Authenticator is a TOTP authenticator application that is compatible with Google Authenticator.
       The significant difference between the two is that Google Authenticator stores shared secret that the app
       uses to generate TOTP codes is stored locally by the application. Nitrokey Authenticator does  not  store
       the  secret,  but  instead  sends  it  to the USB key. It is Nitrokey Pro2, or LibremKey, that stores the
       secrets for generating those secrets and it is the USB key, that  does  generata  those  codes.  Nitrokey
       Authenticator is only an interface for TOTP, that is happening inside the USB key itself.
