> So really the ideal is not just having an app that generates a token but one that generates a specific type of token depending on what type of transaction you're performing and won't accept, for example, a login token when adding a new payee. I haven't seen any bank with that level of 2fa yet, has anyone else?

Some banks in India have a separate “transaction password” that’s required to operate on the account vs just login and view balances. It’s not a rotating token, but it’s somewhat close to what you’re suggesting.
