Ok, I'm visiting family again and I am able to reproduce the issue. I first tried hitting the lock screen button and immediately logging back in; however, after 3 tries, it did not reproduce the issue. I then shut the cover and let it sit a couple minutes. Upon opening it back up, it did reproduce the issue. (Makes me wonder if the app is reading a fresh time when it wakes up.)
Just for grins, I hit the lock screen and instead of logging back in immediately, I left it there for 2 minutes. Upon login, the values were still in sync. Thus, it does seem to point to wake-from-sleep being the issue.
I just put the chromebook to sleep and then immediately woke it back up and found the values still in sync; HOWEVER, the OTP countdown has drifted between the two. I repeated this and they drifted further. It's almost like the app is either not reading the current time or it is using a timer that is based on passing seconds instead of referencing the clock (i.e. no seconds pass for the app when the device is asleep).
