period (int or duration format string: 30) - The length of time used to generate a counter for the TOTP token calculation.
key_size (int: 20) – Specifies the size in bytes of the generated key.
qr_size (int: 200) - The pixel size of the generated square QR code.
algorithm (string: "SHA1") – Specifies the hashing algorithm used to generate the TOTP code. Options include "SHA1", "SHA256" and "SHA512".
digits (int: 6) - The number of digits in the generated TOTP token. This value can either be 6 or 8.

} Administratively generate a TOTP MFA secret
This endpoint can be used to generate a TOTP MFA secret. Unlike the generate API which stores the generated secret on the entity ID of the calling token, the admin-generate API stores the generated secret on the given entity ID.
Parameters
method_id (string: <required>) - UUID of the MFA method.
entity_id (string: <required>) - Entity ID on which the generated secret needs to get stored.

} Administratively destroy TOTP MFA secret
This endpoint deletes a TOTP MFA secret from the given entity ID.
To overwrite a secret on the entity, explicitly deleting the secret first is required. This API can be used to delete the secret and the generate or admin-generate APIs should be used to regenerate a new secret.
Parameters
method_id (string: <required>) - UUID of the MFA method.
entity_id (string: <required>) - Entity ID from which the MFA secret should be removed.
