## What it is
pass-otp is an extension for the pass password manager that stores and manages one-time-password (OTP) tokens as otpauth:// URIs. It generates TOTP/HOTP codes on the command line, supports clipboard output, QR code display, and piping tokens from QR decoders.

## Use cases
- generate 2fa codes from the command line
- store otp tokens in pass password manager
- insert otpauth uri from a qr code image
- display a qr code for an otp token
- append an otp secret to an existing password entry
- replace a phone authenticator app with pass

## When to choose
- you already use pass and want two-factor tokens in the same encrypted store
- you prefer terminal workflows and clipboard-based 2fa code entry
- you want to back up OTP secrets alongside passwords in git

## When to avoid
- you don't use pass as your password manager
- you want a graphical authenticator app with push notifications
- you need cloud-synced 2fa across mobile devices out of the box
