If you haven't seen this before - some companies like USAA and Paypal use Symantec's OTP product[1].

Turns out they are just re-selling the TOTP algorithm.

Honestly, their solution wouldn't be bad if only there was a way to transfer the token to another device. Their Android product does have reviews where it has changed the token on an upgrade (whops).

Now where ever someone uses Symantec VIP I just generate the TOTP key using the author's program and import it into my favorite OTP generator program.
