With the same secret Generates the same OTP code, as long as it does not expire. about otp-java HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi,

This is intended behavior, with the same secret and within the same period, the generator should generate the same OTP code. Is there anything specific you are trying to accomplish?

Hello @BastiaanJansen
How should we use the OTP generator to have different OTPs each time a new one is required, considering that each OTP that is generated must have a maximum lifetime and must be able to validate within that period.

I thought that the secret could be unique and generate different OTPs with it.

Hi @gvillacis-ec ,

Whenever you need a new OTP for a different use case, you must use a different secret.

For example, if you want to send an sms with an OTP-code every time a user logs in, you use a different secret for each user so if multiple users sign in, in the same period, they all receive different OTP-codes.

Thanks for the explanation @BastiaanJansen
