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.
