Well, that's what I'm saying. When I get an SMS from one of my banks for example it says "your code to transfer X to Y is ABC" or "Your code to add a new payee is ABC". In this case she had a code generating app, but the codes were not different for login versus other high risk actions. The same is true for my other bank, which has a code which you use to login, and the same code generator, with no distinction, is used for example when you make a large BPay transaction.
