OPIE works, off the shelf. I've done system tests using OPIE in network appliances. The biggest problem with OTP is: your wallet becomes a security risk : )

We implemented OTP as one of many authentication methods for a network appliance. The appliances were used for "back door" access into server infrastructure.

I was tasked by our test group to read through the documents available and come up with a method for comprehensively testing OTP functionality.

There are a couple of major issues:

- generate "one-time pads" of passwords
- recovery in the case of a loss-of-sequence

You sometimes don't get proper challenge/authenticate success, for whatever reason. It is important to understand how to recover from that scenario; which password works next in sequence.

I had to surrender all my notes on the subject, so I am working from my leaky memory, here : )
