Where 6238 fits
Why 6238 is special
Every authenticator app showing a six-digit code on a thirty-second cycle is this document, and the codes fail when a phone's clock drifts.

1 × 4,096 + 8 × 256 + 5 × 16 + e × 1 = 6,238
Read as powers of two: 4,096 + 2,048 + 64 + 16 + 8 + 4 + 2 = 6,238.
In historical numeral systems
Egyptian
6 lotuses, 2 coils of rope, 3 hobbles, 8 strokes
6 × 1,000 + 2 × 100 + 3 × 10 + 8 × 1 = 6,238. The signs are simply repeated and added; where they sit on the line is a matter of layout, not value.
Systems that simply cannot reach this value are left out. Where a script needs a font most readers do not have, the reading is given instead of the glyphs — see number systems for each system in full.

TOTP replaces HOTP's counter with a time step, trading counter drift for clock drift.

why?
Strength 0.50, confidence "high".
Technology & computing
RFC 6238 extends HOTP by replacing the counter with a time step, commonly thirty seconds. Verification depends on both parties agreeing on the time, so clock drift causes failures.
