In this case, the token you would enter is `279365`. (Note that this is a
*time*-based one-time password, which means that your VM's clock must be
sufficiently accurate in order to generate a valid token and that the token
will change after a short period of time.)
The output is `279365`. This is what you would enter when prompted for an

which means that your VM's clock must be sufficiently accurate in order to
