GOOD TO KNOW

Before you use
an online authenticator.

A setup key can generate future codes. Keep it private, just as you would a password.

What the check covers

Review the OTP type, secret encoding, account label, issuer, and relevant parameters. For HOTP, the starting counter matters; for TOTP, the time period matters.

Strict format checks

This tool rejects unknown or repeated parameters, invalid Base32 data, and settings that do not apply to the selected code type. A supported link may still use settings that some authenticator apps ignore. Check the original service instructions before changing a value.

What a valid result means

A valid result means the link passes the checks shown here. It does not confirm ownership, server settings, enrollment status, or acceptance of a generated code.
