💖 stoken-gui — the GTK+ software token, bestie edition 💖

okay so this is stoken-gui(1), a General Commands Manual page, and honestly? it's giving iconic. it's the graphical bestie of stoken(1). let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

stoken-gui — a GTK+ software token. yes that's the whole name. short, sweet, slays 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

stoken-gui [opts]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so. stoken-gui is a software token that's compatible with RSA SecurID 128-bit (AES) tokens. no cap. 🔥

the graphical user interface here gives you limited support — it's for password entry and for viewing the current token, periodt. the initial token importation and all the other configuration stuff? that's handled through the command-line interface, aka stoken(1). the GUI is not the one doing the heavy lifting there, bestie, know your limits 💀

once you've used stoken import to populate ~/.stokenrc, you can invoke stoken-gui to display the tokencode and the counter. and the tokencode changes once a minute — so it's literally ticking like a little clock. stoken-gui may be left running forever and it will copy the current tokencode to the clipboard on demand. forever. iconic behavior honestly 👑

if a password and/or a PIN is required, stoken-gui will pop up a dialog box requesting the appropriate info. it's not gonna make you guess, it will just ask 🎀

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• --small — shows a minimal window that only displays a tokencode and a progress bar. clicking on the tokencode copies it to the clipboard. tiny window, big energy 🍓
• *--rcfile=file* — use an alternate .stokenrc file. this is typically used to support multiple tokens on the same user account. multitasking queen 💜
• *--password=password, -p *password — use a password supplied from the command line instead of prompting the user. ⚠️ see the notes in SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS on the stoken(1) man page, fr fr.
• *--pin=pin, -n *pin — use a PIN supplied from the command line instead of prompting the user. ⚠️ again, see the notes in SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS on the stoken(1) man page. don't skip that part.
• --force, -f — override the token expiration date check. living dangerously, no notes 🙈
• *--file=file* — use a token from file instead of the .stokenrc file. for testing purposes only. that's the whole vibe.
• *--token=token_string* — use a token from the command line instead of the .stokenrc file. see the above notes on --file. same energy, different flag ✨
• --random — generate a random token on the fly. used for testing or demonstrations only. these tokens should not be used for real authentication. like, seriously, do not. 💀
• --help, -h — display basic usage information. when you're lost, ask for help, it's self care 🌸
• --version, -v — display version information. the classic.
