OTPClient gives wrong codes when system time is local time #304

Closed rogerkeays closed 10 months ago

rogerkeays commented 11 months ago

My system clock uses the local time instead of the tradition UTC, and I found that my TOTP codes from otpclient don't work. Does otpclient support this configuration? Maybe I am doing something else wrong. My clock is accurate to 2 seconds.

version 2.4.2 (debian 10)

Hello, OTPClient (well, libcotp to be correct) doesn't care about whether your clock is configured using localtime or UTC. It simply gets the current time and uses that to generate the totp. If the system clock is not correct, there's nothing we can do about it. I'm not really sure how to help here 🤔

Got it working. I think the website broke because I hit the back button. Thanks for the help anyway.
