  • Patent number: 10009341
    Abstract: A keyboard includes a plurality of keys, a plurality of keyboard components coupled to the keys, and one-time password (OTP) generation hardware integrated with at least some of the keyboard components, where actuating at least one of the keys causes a one-time password to be generated. The OTP generation hardware may be actuated with a dedicated button on the keyboard, by pressing a button on the keyboard that is otherwise used for pairing the keyboard to a device, or by pressing a specific sequence of keys on the keyboard. The keyboard may maintain state information to cause input by the user for OTP generation to be provide to the OTP generation hardware instead of to a device paired with the keyboard. The keyboard may also include a display that is part of the keyboard, where the display shows the one-time password generated by the OTP hardware.
