[aerogear-dev] OTP

[Erik Jan de Wit]

Internally we make use of HOTP (via linotp)  for our VPN and it works
around the problem of the long lived tokens by letting you use it only
once. The difference in implementation is not so great, it wouldn't take
long to build it in fact I've already created a PR for the java project.
