bna is a command line interface to the python-bna library. It can store and manage multiple authenticators, as well as create new ones.

Two things to remember:

• Using an authenticator on the same computer as the one you're playing on is not secure.
• It is impossible (without knowing the secret) to import an existing authenticator

Configuration is stored in ~/.config/bna/bna.conf. You can pass a different config directory with --config=~/.bna.conf for example.

$ bna --new

If you do not already have an authenticator, it will be set as default. You can pass --set-default otherwise.

$ bna
01234567
$ bna EU-1234-1234-1234
76543210

$ bna --restore-code
Z45Q9CVXRR
$ bna --restore EU-1234-1234-1234 ABCDE98765
Restored serial EU-1234-1234-1234

$ bna --otpauth-url
otpauth://totp/Battle.net:EU123412341234:?secret=ASFAS75ASDF75889G9AD7S69AS7697AS&issuer=Battle.net&digits=8

Now paste this to your OTP app, or convert to QRCode and scan, or manually enter the secret.

Note: This will not work with "Google Authenticator" as it does not support 8 digits, try "FreeOTP"

To encode to a QRCode on your local system install 'qrencode'

For a PNG file saved to disk

$ bna --otpauth-url | qrencode -o ~/BNA-qrcode.png
# Scan QRCode
$ rm ~/BNA-qrcode.png

Or to attempt ot display QRCode in terminal as text output

$ bna --otpauth-url | qrencode -t ANSI

import bna
try:
        # region is EU or US
        # note that EU authenticators are valid in the US, and vice versa
        serial, secret = bna.request_new_serial("US")
except bna.HTTPError as e:
        print("Could not connect:", e)

# Get and print a token
token, time_remaining = bna.get_token(secret=secret)
print(token)

# print a new token every time the previous one expires
from time import sleep
while True:
        token, time_remaining = bna.get_token(secret=secret)
        print(token)
        sleep(time_remaining)
