(Visual Basic 6.0) Google Authenticator Algorithm
Example code implementing the Google Authenticator algorithm.
' This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
' See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.
' Generating TOTP Base32 Secret:
' When you enable 2FA with a TOTP-based authenticator app, Google will provide you with a QR code
' that you can scan using the app. This QR code contains a TOTP base32 secret.
' You can also choose to view and copy the secret manually.
Dim secretBase32 As String
secretBase32 = "JBSWY3DPEHPK3PXP"
' Do the following to calculate the 6-digit decimal Google authenticator token for a base32 secret,
' given the current system date/time.
Dim crypt As New ChilkatCrypt2
Dim otp As String
otp = crypt.Totp(secretBase32,"base32","0","",30,6,-1,"sha1")
Debug.Print "6-digit decimal token = " & otp
