• Cross-Platform Compatibility: Works flawlessly on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

• Migration Import: Effortlessly import accounts from Google Authenticator migration QR codes.

• YubiKey Support: Generates ykman commands directly from migration URIs for easy YubiKey integration.

PyAte - Version 1.0.0

PyAte Version 1.0.0

We're excited to announce a significant update to PyAte, the CLI application for TOTP management. This release introduces several new features designed to give users more control, flexibility, and convenience.

New Features and Improvements

• Interactive Mode: The --interactive feature lets you choose which account's OTP to copy, providing more flexibility when managing many accounts.

• Account Search: With the --search argument, you can filter your list of accounts by keyword. This is incredibly useful for quickly finding the OTP for a specific account without having to scroll through the entire list.

• Custom File Support: You no longer have to use accounts.txt. Use the --read argument to specify another text file containing otpauth:// URIs, allowing you to manage multiple sets of accounts separately.

• Updated Documentation: The help page (--help) has been updated to include descriptions and usage examples for all new arguments, ensuring users can quickly understand all available features.

Bug Fixes

• Resolved System Compatibility Issues: Fixed issues that prevented PyAte from running correctly on some operating systems, particularly concerning terminal screen clearing.

• Improved QR Code Scanner Stability: Enhanced the reliability of the QR code scanner when processing blurry or low-resolution images, reducing the chance of migration import failures.

• Better URI Error Handling: Added more robust error handling for invalid or malformed otpauth:// URIs in the accounts.txt file, preventing the application from crashing unexpectedly.

How to Install or Update

Make sure you have all the necessary libraries installed by running:

pip install -r requirements.txt

You can start using these new features by running python pyate.py followed by your desired arguments. For more information and usage examples, please refer to the updated README.md file.

We hope these new features enhance your experience with PyAte. If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to engage with our community.
