I saw in the last 6 months a daemon that let you get oauth tokens on linux and then it refereshed the token indefinitely until told to stop. Essentially making the token available on linux so you could use it in another program that requied a password, for example fetchmail or getmail.I've tried to find it but I'm turning up nothing. I'm pretty sure I didn't imagine it! Does anyone recall the name? This could definitely be helpful for fetching mail from an account with oauth setup.
I do not know about a daemon, but `oathtool` (package `oathtool`) does a
fine job for TOTP based tokens here. Usage:
$ oathtool --base32 JBSWY3DPEHPK3PXP
282760
Of course, you will need to get the Base32 secret from somewhere. It can
often be accessed from the screens that tell you to scan a QR code with an
authenticator app if you press something like "I cannot scan the code" or
such.
