I haven't used HOTP, but my (very basic) understanding is that it works by having both sides (the service and the OTP generator) increment a count. If you have two OTP generators configured, you'd have to "request" a new OTP from each of them every time you use one, to keep them in sync.
- keepamovin 2y agoMakes sense, thanks! I will look more into it. Thankfully, so far it seems my providers are not using it.
- stephenr 2y agoYeah, I've never seen it used for 2FA OTPS, but apparently it's used by some hardware tokens.
- keepamovin 2y agoAh, that's interesting! I Have never been able to figure those hardware tokens out. Sometimes when 2FA comes up I will click "Use your security key" thinking it is going to be a passkey/biometric or authenticator. Nope! It is some kind of USB stick that folks like Bloomberg traders use.
