This is a code generator for the Time-based One Time Password + (TOTP) algorthm. It's intended for developers of web applications with TOTP support to quickly generate + codes for testing purposes. It's not a general purpose authenticator app. +
+What this tool can do:
+What this tool can't do:
+To start, simply type or paste in the TOTP secret key. This should be in the standard base32 + format. This will generate 6-digit TOTP codes that update every 30 seconds using the SHA-1 algorithm that's used + by default in all major authenticator apps. +
+You can press "show advanced settings" to adjust the TOTP parameters to use non-default + values. +
+The generated codes are displayed in chronological order. The current code is shown in large + text. The codes above are past codes, and the codes below are future codes.
