@admin @aj_Brk can you tell me how to Create a Secret Key Based on the User ID & Pass of the User?

aj_Brk

@anil_patel I generated it here - http://smartapi.angelbroking.com/enable-totp . It is printed below QR code

@admin @aj_Brk Thank you but I want the user to Login without Generating TOTP. so users only add their User ID & Pass and based on that Python will generate the Secret Key to generate TOTP.

@ivar
You are not required to pass the TOTP with every order. It needs to be passed only with LoginbyPassword API call to generate the session and fetch the jwtToken, refreshToken and feedToken. These tokens are valid till 5 am of the subsequent day.

@admin said in Guide to secure your SmartAPI Account with two factor authentication:

https://apiconnect.angelbroking.com/rest/auth/angelbroking/user/v1/loginByPassword
Is this API is working?
When I am trying to use POST method with the above URL and sending the data, getting 415 error.

@aj_Brk obj.generateSession() is throwing an error.

TypeError: generateSession() takes 3 positional arguments but 4 were given.

Are you getting the same?

@labeebta How to do it in python automatically? can you please brief , sorry im new to python

@aj_Brk after generating this at code scan it with Google authenticator app. Then in authenticator app there will be OTP changing every minutes. While login put this current OTP . And it's done.

aj_Brk

@babitakundu are you providing 4 fields. It only needs 3. I didnt face this exception.

aj_Brk

@imakr shared the code in the forum. Uses pyotp library

aj_Brk

@anil_patel i don't think that is possible as the secret is generated by angel servers, logic of which is not shared. We can't do this without secret shared by them.

babitakundu

@aj_Brk i passed obj.generateSession(usrname,pwd,totp)

@babitakundu @admin facing the same error, has the smartapi-python library been updated for totp changes?

Ashok

@mudit236 Yes, the files are updated in github, need to checkout the changes are make them manually.

mudit236

@Ashok Okay thanks, not sure why these changes wouldnt be committed to main from angel one's side as it is a pretty major procedural change

babitakundu

@Ashok yes I saw the changes but then also I am getting the same error.

aj_Brk

@ivar i don't think you need to paas totp everytime. I tested get profile and other apis. It is working like before. Only login has changes.
