Hi All,

So I want to suggest a feature request that in addition to the current 
information in the verbose output for oathtool, can a line be added to either 
give the number of seconds remaining until the current step window closes, or 
such information as to enable a script to work that out (such as the step 
window start time, either in unixtime or as a timestamp).

So I use oathtool extensively with my company MFA login, and struggle with the 
fact that it might take a few seconds from my script prompting me the window of 
3 oathtool mfa responses, and when I've managed to type in my response and 
press return.  If I knew that the first of the 3 response oathtool was giving 
me, only had a few seconds left in the window, then I'd not waste my time 
trying to race the clock to send that as the response, I'd just wait for the 
next one.  The issue comes in that I only have 3 attempts and my account gets 
locked, and if I waste 1 of those on an expired window, it means a typo can 
waste 5 minutes getting my account unlocked.

Is there a core oathtool github repository somewhere that I can clone from, to 
make the changes and submit a push request back?

Si
