    // 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:
    const char *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.
    std::cout << "Your token is: " << crypt.totp(secretKey,"base32","0","",30,6,-1,"sha1") << "\r\n";

    // ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    // 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.)
    std::cout << "Your token is: " << crypt.totp(secretKey,"base32","0","",30,6,-1,"sha1") << "\r\n";
