TOTP devices and just pass it around. But what if
TOTP is only dependent from a stored password seed (that you control) and time.
So you can have say 5 different hardware tokens distributed to restricted group of tech, all programmed to the same seed if they need to use the same important userid in the system (so it will produce the same number pattern). Basically, you clone them if needed with the same seed.
p.s. of course you can emulate it easily with software TOTP, there are quick command lines around, not advisable of course because it will obviously require to paste the original password around invalidating a little the overall benefits of MFA... but being the seed base32 usually you can print it on paper if one so desire...
