Nevermind - I might be mistaken. You need to enter the 9 digit number AND a URL. Probably the secret is then loaded from that URL. In the past, I must have used the QR code (I thought I used the number). Here is a…

What confuses me is that TOTP is usually referred to as "something you have" (the app on your smartphone, with the secret), as opposed to "something you know" (your password). But the TOTP algorithm and the current time…
