  5. You can click COPY to make the OTP available on the system clipboard and close the OTP dialog when done.

    Important: If the Slot is configured for TOTP, the TOTP is only available for the duration specified in the Time field on the TOTP configuration screen. After the time elapses, you need to regenerate the TOTP in order to obtain another valid OTP.
    If you attempt to generate another TOTP during the TOTP Time period, the same OTP is displayed. The TOTP value is not refreshed until the Time period specified in the TOTP configuration has elapsed.
