Or use the google authenticator app on an offline computer.

the clock on an offline computer will vary over time, which will make your otp give a bad result.  update the time manually if the otp is gives doesn't work.
hey, i used this setup to add OTP to my bitstamp account (any additional layer of security they offer? its kinda lame that i cant even receive an email if there is a withdrawal, only a deposit..) well back to my original point, i added the OTP before march, usually i was logged on 2-3 takes, now after DST it takes 10-15 takes for me to log in.. what am i doing wrong? it does not make sense to chance the computer time back to what it was before summer time.
