Same here ...

On my Android phone, I have FreeOTP+ which can read a QR code from
a site and add it to the app, so you can get time based OTP whenever
you want.

Then on my laptop:

$ sudo apt install oathtool

To make things easier, I have shell script wrapper that looks up a site
name in a file that has the hash keys, and returns a time based OTP.

That file is on my laptop and my home server, and I remember to
keep them in sync when adding or updating a new site on my phone.
