Just enter the OTP url in any field and KyPass will translate it to the correct secret key:

otpauth://totp/Example:alice@google.com?secret=DPJBSKY3EHWP3PXP&issuer=Example

KyPass could also capture this OTP url from a QRCode ("Add OTP" function from the tools menu)

OTP arguments

These arguments are used by KyPass to generate the OTP code:

secret

This parameter is an arbitrary key value encoded in Base32 according to RFC 3548.

digits

This parameter may have the values 6 or 8, and determines how long of a one-time passcode to display to the user.

If omitted, the default value is 6.

period

This parameter defines a period that a OTP code will be valid for, in seconds.

If omitted, the default value is 30.
