how do I generate 16 character length secret key consistently?

[vafada]

Describe the bug

When generating a secret via const secret = authenticator.generateSecret()

the length of secret varies on every run.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1.

const secret = authenticator.generateSecret()
console.log(secret);
console.log(secret.length);

2. Run step 1 multiple times, secret.length will be different for every run

Expected behavior

I expect the secret generated of have a consistent length of 16

Details (please provide any relevant information):

• otplib version: v12
• os: linux
• browser:
• node / yarn: node v.12.13.0
• frameworks (if any):

Additional context

Thanks for the report. Will look into it.

At a glance, it looks like it is highly likely due to the thirty-two implementation.
