Andotp: [Feature Request] Symantec VIP Support

[SkewedZeppelin]

Symantec has this proprietary TOTP management system called Symantec VIP. It is the only option for 2FA on some services.

However there exists a somewhat actively maintained Python implementation that supports creating registration credentials and outputting a a TOTP secret that can be then imported into any standard TOTP app.
Python implementation: https://github.com/dlenski/python-vipaccess

This will probably never be implemented, but I figured I'd ask anyone in case anyone was up to the task. I'm sure it would be well appreciated by many.

There are some downsides...

• It would add network access, which might deter some people from using the app
• Symantec might not like that a convenient alternative exists

As you already mentioned I am not to keen on implementing this. For one the Network permissions are something I never wanted to add to andOTP. And on the other hand can you easily use python-vipaccess to register an account and then print the TOTP secret to import in andOTP (that is what I did for my PayPal account).

I will write a small entry in the wiki on how to use python-vipaccess to get the TOTP secret and import it in andOTP (as I did for Battle.net) and then close this issue.

Does anyone know what happens when credential expires (or does it really expire)? Output from provisioning a new credential with python-vipaccess gives "This credential expires on this date:".

Regarding PayPal mentioned above - is it necessary to define token model (VSST/VSMT)?

Thanks!

I just added a description to the wiki: https://github.com/andOTP/andOTP/wiki/Shared-secrets

It's based on this post (which is also linked).

@Pledkae I don't know what will happen if it expires (or if it does at all), sorry.
