If you have accounts on multiple gitea instances it could happen that you overwrite an existing TOTP Key. This is due to the way TOTP Authentication Apps handle entries, see https://github.com/google/google-authenticator/wiki/Conflicting-Accounts.
The circumstances under which this happens:
Same Application Name
Same Account Name
On both instances TOTP enabled
In the worst scenario a user can get locked out of one instance.
Happend to me once but fortunately had access to the database and was able to delete the entry in two_factor table.
I have already opened in issue at pquerna/otp#20
Owner mentioned that library exposes all needed stuff to prevent this and a possible solution pquerna/otp#20 (comment)
Unfortunately with his proposed solution the problem still exists if same application name is used.
I'd rather use the URL from the gitea installation.
