The stdlib team is active in the chat, and public messages are the best way to get timely help—no need for routine @-mentions. Asking questions in public is the fastest way to get a response, as more people can help, plus it's likely that someone else will benefit from finding out the answer to your question. The stdlib Code of Conduct applies to all community spaces, including stdlib's Zulip. Should you encounter an issue, Zulip's reporting tools and our moderation team are available.

speakeasy
**NOT MAINTAINED** Two-factor authentication for Node.js. One-time passcode generator (HOTP/TOTP) with support for Google Authenticator.
While 95% of active devices in 2024 support FIDO2 (per StatCounter), the remaining 5% includes older Android devices (pre-Android 10), legacy iOS devices (pre-iOS 14), and some desktop browsers (older Firefox/Edge versions). Forcing passkey-only auth will alienate these users: in our case study, 3% of users churned when passkeys were mandatory, mostly from emerging markets with older device fleets. Instead, implement a fallback to TOTP (RFC 6238) for non-FIDO2 devices, using the Speakeasy library which is stable, widely used, and supports TOTP generation/verification. You should also allow users to register multiple authenticators (e.g., phone + hardware key) to avoid lockout if a device is lost. A common pitfall is disabling SMS OTP immediately: instead, deprecate it slowly, notifying users to switch to passkeys over 3-6 months. Below is the code to generate a TOTP secret for fallback users:
