  "github_readme_excerpt": "[![Go presubmit](https://github.com/pcarrier/gauth/actions/workflows/go-presubmit.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/pcarrier/gauth/actions)\n\ngauth: replace Google Authenticator\n===================================\n\nInstallation\n------------\n\nChoose your preferred path.\n\n- With [brew](https://brew.sh) on Mac, `brew install gauth`.\n\n- With Go installed, `GOBIN=/usr/local/bin go install github.com/pcarrier/gauth@latest`.\n\nUsage\n-----\n\n- In web interfaces, claim you can\u0027t read QR codes, get a secret like `hret 3ij7 kaj4 2jzg` instead.\n- Store one secret per line in `~/.config/gauth.csv`, in the format `name:secret`. For example:\n\n        AWS:   ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ234567ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ234567\n        Airbnb:abcd efgh ijkl mnop\n        Google:a2b3c4d5e6f7ghij\n        Github:234567qrstuvwxyz\n        otpauth://totp/testOrg:testuser?secret=AAAQEAYEAUDAOCAJ======\u0026issuer=testOrg\u0026algorithm=SHA512\u0026digits=8\u0026period=30\n\n- Restrict access to your user:\n\n        $ chmod 600 ~/.config/gauth.csv\n\n- Run `gauth`. The progress bar indicates how far the next change is.\n\n        $ gauth\n                   prev   curr   next\n        AWS        315306 135387 483601\n        Airbnb     563728 339206 904549\n        Google     453564 477615 356846\n        Github     911264 548790 784099\n        [=======                      ]\n\n- Run `gauth KEYNAME` to print a specific key with progress bar.\n\n- Run `gauth KEYNAME -b` to print a bare current key.\n\n        $ gauth Google -b\n        477615\n\n- Run `gauth KEYNAME -s` to retrieve an accounts secret from the config.\n\n        $ gauth Google -s\n        your_secret_for_google\n\n- `gauth` is convenient to use in `watch`.\n\n        $ watch -n1 gauth\n\n- Remember to keep your system clock synchronized and to **lock your computer when brewing your tea!**\n\n- If you find yourself needing to interpret a QR code (e.g. exporting a code\n  from an existing Google Authenticator setup, on a phone to which you do not\n  have root access), then [gauthQR](http",
