The problem: my app fails to produce an identical TOTP as the one produced by Google Authenticator app when same secret key is used. Could someone tell me what went wrong, please. My focus is TOTP verification not secret key generation.

TIA

    For i = -1 To 1 ' Check previous, current, and next time slices
        Dim timeSlice As Long = currentTimeSlice + i
        Dim expectedCode As String = GenerateTOTP(secretKey, timeSlice)
        If expectedCode = userEnteredCode Then
            Return True
        End If
    Next
    
    Return False
