  digits: 6 | 7 | 8;       // Number of digits
  period: number;           // Time period in seconds
}

QR Code Data

interface QRCodeData {
  uri: string;              // otpauth URI
  imageData: string;        // Base64 encoded image
  format: 'PNG' | 'SVG' | 'PDF';

  errorCorrection: 'L' | 'M' | 'Q' | 'H';
}

History Record

interface HistoryRecord {
  id: string;
  timestamp: Date;
  config: TOTPConfig;
  qrData: QRCodeData;
  metadata: {
    generatedBy: string;
