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.

There is a way to generate a Symantec VIP Access compatible token very easily if you have access to an environment which can run Python PIP. I happen to have Ubuntu Windows Subsystem Linux running on my machine. (If you are running Windows 10 and don't have this you should really check it out.) Let's get started...

Here we install python3-pip and qrencode so we can generate our secret, I

If you've made a wrong forceful push or just want to recover from old commits in github, then you can use this command flow:

# find the commit, just like git reflog
curl -u <username> https://api.github.com/repos/:owner/:repo/events

# create a new branch from the commit sha found in previous step
curl -u <github-username> 
  -X POST -d ‘{“ref”:”refs/heads/<new-branch-name>”, “sha”:”<sha-from-step-1>"}’ 
 https://api.github.com/repos/:owner/:repo/git/refs
