| Post subject: | how to use TOTP mode without installing YubiTOTP.exe? |
Using Yubikey NEO I cannot find out a way to program the Yubikey in a way that OATH-TOTP mode is ebabled and can be used without the YubiTOTP.exe program running on the PC. I downloaded the Configuration Utility from http://static.yubico.com/var/uploads/fi ... taller.msi and there is the possibility to program the Yubikey for OATH-HOTP mode but not for OATH-TOTP mode. So I always have to run the small YubiTOTP program to get my one-time-pws created and pushed into the clipboard but I want to use it simpler, by just touching the YubiKey so it inserts the one-time-password via the keyboard driver. How can I configure the Yubikey? |

Hi, Currently you cannot do that, since the Yubikey needs the computer clock to generate a TOTP. |

hi Tom, thanks for the answer, also if this was not what I wanted to hear... Can you tell whether this is true also for the Yubikey NANOs? because they are advertised with the statement "no client software or drivers driver, needed" so I wonder whetehr this marketing stuff is true or not... |

The Yubikey is fully functional without any additional driver or software, you do not need to install anything to use the Yubico OTP, Challenge Response, Password or OATH-HOTP mode. TOTP is not supported by the Yubikey and the TOTP helper app is a solution to add extra feature to the Yubikey. The Yubikey does not have a battery therefore it doesn't make sense to expect the device to generate TOTP codes without a clock. |

I'm thinking of taking a USB-Port-Extension with two YubiKeys (because of the two slot limit :S) and two USB sticks (both soldered into the usb-hub) with me (for Thunderbird portable, Small Linux system, some password recovery tools etc and). Are there portable TOTP apps for Linux available (which I could put on one of the stick)? Regards! |

I could abandon one of my Yubikeys that sits "always in" my system if I could do double-duty with my Neo on my system and with my mobiles. |

did you guys had a look at the Yubico Authenticator for dekstop? http://opensource.yubico.com/yubioath-desktop/ Works with the NEO and the Yubico Authenticator applet which is shipped by default in every NEO. Works with the Yubico Authenticator Android app as well. Tom. Attachment:  Capture.PNG [ 11.15 KiB | Viewed 4603 times ] |
