If I understand the issue correctly, when Purge is called with count >= len(cache), this triggers a panic because of the range. I think an easier fix would be to just empty the entire cache in this case, right after grabbing a lock, because this is what I think this code effectively does. Or am I missing something?
Also, can you please add a test for this edge case?

@abbot sorry for the delayed response - you are correct! I think the current count parameter is to only clear the cache up to a certain point - is this something that can be removed in favor of clearing the entire cache?

When the authenticator's cache is purged, there was a consistent
slice bounds out of range [:200] with capacity 181panic occurring. Checking that thecountvariable here does not exceed the actual length of the cache should avoid this panic when the cache is purged.
