Command-line implementation of Symantec's "VIP Access" token application on OSX. This will read from the same secret key and produce the same time-based one-time-passwords as the GUI application, but with output that can be captured and used in scripts.

I wrote a wrapper script based on the code presented here couple of years back. The script still works fine (I just tried on my iMac/intel and macbook/m2) with the latest macOS version. You can give it a try and see if you can get past your issue. It is at the link below.
