Getting reading errors most of the time

[pbuttelli]

I'm trying to generate a QR Code from an otpauth URI (like below). Sometimes, the code generates a valid image, that can be read by my phone. However, most of the time it outputs an invalid code.

otpauth://totp/Tester:[email protected]?secret=A63BWG5IWX657J62V6UGFQPLVR4N636L&issuer=Tester

Parsed result:

otpauth://totp/Tester:[email protected]?secret=A62�bu�?��[���!���P��D�<�����d�H{E����:�(t��

Is there any way to solve this?

Thanks in advance,
Pedro

Hey, thanks for the report! I checked back with dev-main and cannot reproduce the error. It would be very helpful if you could post the code that produced the above QR code.

Thank you for your reply, @codemasher!

I've figured out what I was doing wrong. I was encrypting data before sending to the image generator file (qrcode.php) via GET parameters. When decrypting, I mistakenly used the param instead of the decrypted string, which explains why I was seeing a different QR Code every page refresh. A stupid error that caused me headaches for hours (laughs).

Now, everything seems to work fine.

Merry Christmas!
