It's a time-synchronised one-time password and works the same whether created on a hardware device provided by the bank or via an app on your phone.
Codes issued via SMS are also a form of one-time passwords but considered less secure because of the risk of SIM swap attacks.

They don't need to speak to one another by design. Both the device and the bank's servers share two pieces of data - synchronised clocks and a unique ID of the device.
The device uses its time and a unique ID linked to your account to generate a code. The server is then able to use the time at which it receives the code and the unique ID linked to your account to generate a value using the same algorithm and check that they match.
On a mobile app, when you first setup the device with the server, you either enter the unique key onto the device or scan a QR code which contains the key. This is then stored within the app.
A physical device provided by the bank will already have this unique ID set up before you receive it. | | | |

Wow... how knowledgable, and what an uncanny coincidence that your user name almost entirely seems to be made for answering a question like this. Have you just joined, or been waiting years for someone to pop up with the question?

And TimeSyncOTP does sound a lot less sinister than Long-Time Lurker. |  |

Have I slipped into some alternate reality whereby questions on TWTD receive useful answers rather than attempts at humour? |  |

I recently asked on here for the most effective way of killing flies indoors and am now the proud owner of a salt bug gun, thanks to SkipIntro.
It's a gamechanger. | |

SkipIntro doesn't sound quite the specialist niche name that we have encountered here for answering the fly killing question. | |

Should it catch on we are going to lose a lot of regular posters. |  |
