There is a window of validity (often 30s), and a window of forgiveness (often +- 30s, so the same code will work for 90s), but the standards require only one attempt per window which renders TFA's claim pointless. Except for poor implementations, of course. And once in a million windows it may be 000000 (with 30s windows that will take 347 days assuming even distribution)
