I received this error when decoding my 26 character secret.

You should probably update your code to decode the secret using this: gokyle/twofactor#10 (comment)

I think it's a different problem, I met this problem before when I copied the given secret and later I discovered sometimes it's base64 encoded as an extra layer.

if try the token from the linked issue a6mryljlbufszudtjdt42nh5by it does not fail on illegal byte and if I add the NoPadding option in there, then I get an error:

illegal base32 data at input byte 40

However it seems it does not yield a valid 6digit code. :( [or I did something wrong with time.Date structs, it's possible]

nvm, my bad... I tried with the right token, but instead of decoding it i decoded again so it was valid. :(

@josephspurrier : totp-cli update will update your binary with the shiny new 1.0.5 (or go get/go install of course).

Thanks for the report and the link to that comment ;)
