The Open Authenticator is an open source TOTP based hardware authenticator using ESP32. In layman’s terms, this does what Google Authenticator or Authy does. This uses a custom built pcb and a 3d case, also it uses a firmware built for this purpose using esp-idf, uses lvgl as the GUI library.

The features of open authenticator’s printer circuit board are:

  • Small form factor of 82mm x 42mm
  • Uses ESP32-WROOM-32D module
  • Uses 128x64 0.96” inch OLED panel
  • Uses DS3231 RTC with battery backup (CR2032) for timekeeping
  • Powered by 3.7V 300 mAh LiPo battery
  • Uses MCP73831 for charging LiPo battery
  • Uses TPS63001 Buck Boost Converter IC for efficient 3.3V power supply, with input range from 1.8V - 5.5V
  • Uses TPS22919 Load switch to control power to OLED and RTC chip
  • Autoselect power source, i.e., battery or USB
  • USB Type-C for charging only (no data pins connected)
