The OTP functions basically as a USB HID keyboard. So you can plug it into something that is not locked down (like a phone or tablet), and then just copy the code.

The drawback is that the code could be long. A few years ago, the codes were just 6 digits. My latest nano spits out a very long (20 char?) alpha-numeric string.



I wouldn't mind a 20 char string. I regularly type passphrases significantly longer than that.
