hmacOTP is a free OATH-compliant OTP client for PDA which generates one-time passwords based on HMAC OTP (HOTP) standard. This standard is a recent industry development for open strong authentication. It is an effort of the initiative for Open AuTHentication and is currently supporting by multiple vendors whith authentication solutions.

The idea behind hmacOTP is that you actually do not need any of those OTP tokens as long as you have your PDA. Keep your keychain for something more useful and find something better to spend your dollars at.

Simply download hmacOTP, put it to your PDA (hotsync or beam it, use SD or Compact Flash card - any way you like) and this is it. Once configured with your secret hmacOTP will automatically generate a new one-time password every time you run it so you basically do not need to do anything special - just run and get your password. You may also generate few more next passwords manually as well if you really need them.
