But seriously: I've never seen a OTP query when not being online so this wasn't a valid reason. On the other hand transmitting the secrets into the browser IMHO would be a major security flaw as - given the case you loose control over your browser having all those secrets stored in the local storage - an attacker would have the chance to generate unlimited one-time passwords for your accounts. In the end I went with the solution to transmit only names and the currently valid code. This means being offline you are not able to generate a new code but also this means you can revoke access to the Vault keys and immediately stop the attackers ability to generate codes on your behalf. + +---- + +![project status](https://d2o84fseuhwkxk.cloudfront.net/vault-otp-ui.svg)
