A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Lemmy uses a SHA256 digest for its TOTP codes.

Basically every other service (and therefore most authenticator apps) use SHA1.

So although you provide the right secret, you get a different code because it's derived from a different hashing mechanism

Ooooh ok cool. Sadly I'm using MS Authenticator so I can't specify the type. I really don't want to migrate to another one so hopefully this gets fixed I know there is a ticket open on github.
