TOTP sometimes returns 4 or 5 digit code

[Bono de Visser]

Hi,

Not really sure if this is the place to ask this kind of stuff, or that I should maybe create an issue (I doubt it is an issue). Sometimes when I generate a code using totp() and specify six digits; the function returns 4 or 5 digits. My assumption is that it has to do with the fact that it returns an integer, and that an integer can have leading zero's. I would just like to get some feedback to clear this up, and thought that it might be a good idea to place it in the dicussion groups.

Cheers,
Bono

Hello,

That’s what it is. If you need it as a six-digit string, you can use format(token, '06d’). django-otp-twilio does this, for example.

Thanks,
Peter

Okay great thanks. Kind of late, but I meant "can' t" not "can" back there ;)
