After you have burnt a seed onto the programmable tokens they will be able to produce 6 digit OTP codes that can be used when authenticating, however it would be handy if we can verify that the token has be correctly programmed.Fortunately this is a relatively simple process and programable tokens can be checked using one of the following methods.;, you can test the token by comparing the OTP codes with those produced by an online TOTP generator.
Using an Online TOTP Token Generator to test TOTP tokens
There are several online token generator pages that may be used to check the codes generated by a programmed OATH TOTP token, and can be used to confirm that the codes that the token burning process worked without issue.
After programming the token you can test if the token open OTP codes generated by the token are as expected by comparing the codes with those produced by the following online TOTP Token Generator;

The online page should now generate matching OTP codes to the token.
If at this point the codes don't match first turn the token off then on and if this doesn't resolve the issue check for any errors on the date and time on thegenerated online do not appear to match the codes generated by the token (the one with the matching serial number), then you should first check that the parameters supplied on this page match those in your seed data file.
If after double checking the parameters the generated OTP code still does not match then you may want to check the physical token for time drift using our CHECK CLOCK DRIFT tool.

Once added the authenticator app will generate 6 digit codes, and as per the Online TOTP generator method you can verify that the token is creating valid OTP codes.
