Great article, have you tried `jugaad-trader` library, it offers all the functionality of `pykiteconnect` and you can use `pyotp` with `jugaad-trader` in same way.

Hello, is there a way to paste the totp in that input automatically instead of entering manually. My login screen stuck in totp screen. Its generating TOTP but not moving forward.
