Perhaps you are thinking of Markus Kuhn's OTPW?
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/otpw.html
"OTPW is not compatible with and is not derived from either S/KEY or
OPIE. It is a completely independent and different design, which I
believe fulfils my functional and security requirements better."
It prints you a page of one-time passes. These are independent of
one-another and chosen in random order. To protect against theft of the
sheet, it also uses a constant (memorised) password. An attacker has to
both steal the sheet and eavesdrop the password to break the scheme.
