Hi Mark,
If you use an app like FreeOTP+ (open source Android app on the Play Store), then once you've scanned the QR code, it will allow you to view the secret as a long string which can be shared.
If you use KeePass or KeePassXC as a password manager, you can then use that database to hold the credentials securely and generate OTPs on multiple desktop and smartphone platforms (it is recommended to store any TOTP codes in a separate database to your passwords). If there are a number of shared logins between you, then perhaps maintaining a shared KeePass database file to store them in that you can both access is one option.

HTH,
Peter.

Are there any good ways of sharing 2 factor authentication credentials?
If you save the QR code and share it to your colleague then you can both have the same credential in authy, you probably want to delete it after though.
