Example code implementing the Google Authenticator algorithm. VBScript

Dim fso, outFile
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'Create a Unicode (utf-16) output text file.
Set outFile = fso.CreateTextFile("output.txt", True, True)

' 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.

secretBase32 = "JBSWY3DPEHPK3PXP"

' Do the following to calculate the 6-digit decimal Google authenticator token for a base32 secret,
' given the current system date/time.
set crypt = CreateObject("Chilkat.Crypt2")
