HTML5 Google Authenticator

I were planning to make one. But then I found this. Afaik, many apps should be made using html. Btw. I would like to see TOTP mentioned instead of Google/Gauth. But I assume Google something is much cooler than anything else. See: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-based_One-time_Password_Algorithm" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-based_One-time_Password_A...</a> - So it's generic TOTP implementation, not Google(only) Authentication app trusting Google infrastructure. Also, there might be local storage security issues with HTML5 apps, but I'm not expert in that field.

I was wondering what I'd use this for (either as an end-user or as a developer), when I found that people actually use their google-account for two-factor authentication for their <i>SSH accounts</i>.<p>You know what? I don't trust Google enough to allow them to lock me out of my own systems, and I'm surprised other obviously technologically inclined people do.

So presumably it's compatible with any RFC 4226 / HOPT (<a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4226" rel="nofollow">https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4226</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HOTP" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HOTP</a>) implementation?

At what point will we be dropping the '5' and just referring to it as 'HTML'?

I've made a simple example hotp/totp implementation (<a href="https://github.com/bjornua/totp.py/blob/master/totp.py" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/bjornua/totp.py/blob/master/totp.py</a>) in Python 3 for anyone interested.

That's really cool for new mobile OSes. Time to "port" to Firefox OS ;)

Great! This is a must-have app that I wasn't sure Firefox OS would have right away.
