Worth noting that other implementations do share across devices, intentionally trading some security for convenience.
I personally find this a fair trade, but do understand the implications. I’d much prefer that 2FA (specifically TOTP) supporting sites allowed you to register multiple token devices, which would greatly reduce the need to do this.
