public Code(string? value, CredentialPeriod period)Parameters
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|

| CredentialPeriod | period | The credential period to calculate the OTP code validity. |

| ArgumentException | The provided period is invalid. |
Remarks
The credential period is used to set a validity for OTP code. The validity for HOTP code is set to DateTimeOffset.MaxValue because HOTP code is not time-based. The validity for TOTP code is set to DateTimeOffset.Now + credential period (15, 30, or 60 seconds). Also, it is "rounded" to the nearest 15, 30, or 60 seconds. For example, it will start at 1:14:30 and not 1:14:34 if the timestep is 30 seconds.
