Generated passwords are refused #138

Hi, Thanks a lot for pass-otp it's awesome ! I'm trying setting it up but for some reason none of the codes I get are accepted server-side... I think my URIs are correctly set up though, as an example otpauth://totp/XXXXXXXXXX?secret=****************&issuer=Discord&digits=6&period=30&algorithm=SHA1 But the generated passwords are all different from the ones I have on andOTP (is this normal?) and are refused. Could it be a clock issue? I don't really know how to probe for this, any clue?

I get the same behaviour as well today. A few days ago I also noticed that it took a couple of trials until my OTP was accepted by my service. Today they didn't work at all

is your system set up with NTP or similar? my guess is your system clock has drifted over 30seconds or more, so you're getting different codes.

i recommend chrony as an arch linux user; arch docs that may be helpful to any GNU/Linux users

Bummer, that was too obvious to miss.

You were right @maxthomas! I was about 2 minutes away from real time...

So simple! Thanks for the chrony tip, the issue can be closed i guess.
