Quick overview of using One Time Passwords on your phone --------------------------------------------------------

 * OTPs involve a shared secret, stored both on the phone and the server
 * OTPs can be generated on a phone without internet connectivity
 * OTPs should always be used as a second factor of authentication(if your
   phone is lost, you account is still secured with a password)
 * Google Authenticator allows you to store multiple OTP secrets and provision
   those using a QR Code(no more typing in the secret)

This package contains the Python 2 version of pyotp.
