Action icon 


Parameters

Input parameters 

Secret key - secret key, which is taken from the service where authentication is to take place. The code will be generated based on this key. Only digits and letters of the Latin alphabet are allowed in the key. The key must match the selected format.

Secret key format - is a commonly used format for recording the secret key, which depends on the service type where authentication takes place. There are 2 options to choose from: base64, hexadecimal. The default value is “base64”.

Hash algorithm - data encryption method, which depends on the service type. There are 3 options to choose from: SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-512. The default value is “SHA-1”.

Timeout (ms) - time during which the generated code is relevant. It is indicated in milliseconds. The minimum permissible value is “1000”. The default value is “30000”.  

Code length - length of the code that will be generated as a result. The allowed value is between 1 and 10. The default value is “6”.

Output parameters 

Generated code - generated code intended for pass authentication.
