//  To duplicate the results of the Authenticator Test at https://rootprojects.org/authenticator/
//  do the following:
//  1) At the bottom of the screen you will see a URI such as:
//  
//     otpauth://totp/ACME%20Co:john@example.com?secret=HXDMVJECJJWSRB3HWIZR4IFUGFTMXBOZ&issuer=ACME%20Co&algorithm=SHA1&digits=6&period=30
//  
//     Use the uppercase secret.  For example:
string secretKey = "HXDMVJECJJWSRB3HWIZR4IFUGFTMXBOZ";

//  2) DO NOT cick the "Regenerate" button.  The regenerate button will generate a new secret.
//  
//  3) Run the following code to generate your 6-digit token.  Compare with the token shown in the picture of the iPhone at https://rootprojects.org/authenticator/
//       Note: A new token is generated every 30 seconds.  You must generate within the same 30 second interval to get the same result.
Debug.WriteLine("Your token is: " + crypt.Totp(secretKey,"base32","0","",30,6,-1,"sha1"));

//  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//  To duplicate the results of the Google2FA Playground at https://pragmarx.com/playground/google2fa#/
//  do the following:

//  1) Copy the 64-byte secret key:
secretKey = "OR2VQTRVHB2HO2LCGVWXQSCDK5ZHQS2D3THQ6UXO57XIE7ZHOWS6HDPQ622GU747";

//  2) Run the same code:
//     (Note: The online tool generates a new result every 30 seconds.  You must generate and compare within the same 30-second interval.)
Debug.WriteLine("Your token is: " + crypt.Totp(secretKey,"base32","0","",30,6,-1,"sha1"));
