Generate Symantec VIP Access Token as OTP

Recently I came across a web service that required two-factor authentication using the Symantec VIP Access App. I already manage all of my OTP tokens in a different app (If you are on iOS I highly recommend using OTP Auth by Roland Moers.) and did not want to have to use yet another app to generate the TOTP.

If you are using DNS Made Easy like I was, you probably ran across the error when trying to enter your DKIM key.

"Contiguous strings may not be longer than 255 characters"

Thankfully, [DNS RFC 4408](https
