TOTP is a standard (rfc6238 [1]) so it actually /should/ give the same
numbers regardless of the application.

(This is what miffs me most: those marketing departments always sell you
some unspecified snake oil -- "authenticator app", "2FA" -- instead of
telling you what's technically behind it. On the surface, it's to not
confuse the poor stupid user with too much technical mumbo jumbo. The real
intention is to keep the user poor and stupid, and thus, dependent).
