cpotp 0.0.6

Command line tool to copy the latest OTP received in the connected Android device to the clipboard.

cpotp

Command line tool to copy the latest OTP received in the connected Android device to the clipboard.

Why?

Simply because I don't want to pickup my phone, open the SMS app, remember the OTP, and then enter it.

Now you might say, haven't you heard about https://messages.google.com? Well, that's what is being used in the package. Selenium Chrome driver automates this process.

Prerequisite

• Python >= 3.6
• Google Chrome / Chromium / Microsoft Edge / Microsoft Edge Dev for Linux
• xclip (if you're on Linux)
• Android device

Installation

Install cpotp

cpotp can be installed using pip

pip install cpotp

or install it from the source

git clone https://github.com/riteshpanjwani/cpotp.git
cd cpotp
python setup.py install

Install xclip (Linux only)

If you are using any fairly recent Debian Linux-based OS:

sudo apt install xclip

else, you can install it directly from the source:

git clone https://github.com/astrand/xclip.git
./bootstrap
./configure
make
make install

Verify that it installed:

man xclip

Set an environment variable

Next, you need to set an environment variable called CHROME_USER_DATA_DIR, in Chrome/Edge/Chromium browser new tab

chrome://version

and set this environment variable to path given in "Profile Path" except the "/Default" part. For example:

export CHROME_USER_DATA_DIR=/home/<username>/.config/google-chrome

Selenium will create a Chrome user profile called "cpotp" in this directory.

Usage

Note: the following command downloads the following files on the first run:

• appropriate Chromium drivers using pyderman
• NLTK punkt package to tokenize the SMS

Close any instance of https://messages.google.com and fire up a terminal / command prompt and run:

cpotp

On the first run, scan the QR code using your Messages app on the phone and pair it.
