Support for more TOTP parameters

Some websites or services expect different parameters. The Authenticator key (TOTP) field supports a number of parameters (see table below). You can customize how the Bravura Safe authenticator generates the TOTP code by manually editing the otpauth://totp/ URI for your safe item.

For example: You can manually add the following string into Authenticator key (TOTP) field:

"otpauth://totp/Test:me?secret=JBSWY3DPEHPK3PXP&algorithm=sha256&digits=8&period=60"

After saving, the Bravura Safe authenticator will generate a TOTP code using the SHA-256 algorithm with 8 digits every 60 seconds.

Note

By default, Bravura Safe authenticator generates 6-digit TOTPs using SHA-1 and rotates them every 30 seconds.
