QRCode URL shows 404

[mm-louis]

For some reason, URL is not working. Here's the sample. https://chart.googleapis.com/chart?chs=200x200&chld=M|0&cht=qr&chl=otpauth%3A%2F%2Ftotp%2FKirlin%2520and%2520Sons%3Ajarod12%2540yahoo.com%3Fsecret%3DJBYGUTKKJA4XKWDEMRHTOQTZLBKGC4CNZCMKL7OLPPOV3FEQEUSYW4EQ7OSRPLHD%26issuer%3DKirlin%2520and%2520Sons

Also, I tried demo page, the QR code image can not be shown either.

Unfortunately, this service has been deprecated.

You can switch to this library and use his local QR Code generator

I am facing the same issue from almost 2 weeks. What is good alternative ? Bacon/QRCode?

[dragonofmercy]

I use like this

use RobThree\Auth\TwoFactorAuth;
use RobThree\Auth\Providers\Qr\BaconQrCodeProvider;

$driver = new BaconQrCodeProvider(0, '#ffffff', '#000000', 'svg');
$tfa = new TwoFactorAuth('Company name', 6, 30, 'sha1', $driver);

$tfa->getQRCodeImageAsDataUri('accountname', 'secret', 200);

for the secret use

$secret = $tfa->createSecret();

Don't forget

composer require robthree/twofactorauth
composer require bacon/bacon-qr-code

https://github.com/Bacon/BaconQrCode , it's supported (I use it with google2fa-laravel) and has a SVG backend -> basically no external dependencies and majority of browsers support it.

instead of getQRCodeGoogleUrl() , i used getQRCodeInline() and it worked fine. It required pragmarx/google2fa, pragmarx/google2fa-qrcode and bacon/bacon-qr-code packages.

<?php
use PragmaRX\Google2FAQRCode\Google2FA as Google2FAQRCodeGoogle2FA;

        $google2fa = new Google2FAQRCodeGoogle2FA();

        $inlineUrl = $google2fa->getQRCodeInline(
            $companyName,
            $companyEmail,
            $secretKey
        );

        echo $inlineUrl ; //svg format
?>

Yeah the Google service was scheduled to go down. It's actually better to have it inline anyways, like @ankit-singh-vu is doing. Both chillerlan/php-qrcode and Bacon works fine.

Thanks everyone! I opted for image-charts.com instead of the Google one.
