Hmmmm...it sounds like the two guacamole instances are pointed at the same
database, and maybe you cleared out the TOTP configuration in the DB for
the guacadmin user, or overwrote part of the DB configuration?  There's
something odd going on there, anyway, because you should be able to do one
of two things:
- Point the Guacamole install at the same database, and log in with the
same guacadmin credentials and TOTP configuration.
- Point the Guacamole install at a completely separate database and
reconfigure from scratch.

If you're pointing at a different DB, this should never be an issue.  If
you're pointing at the same DB without removing the old TOTP configuration
this also should not be an issue.  That said, I could see a potential
feature where there is support for multiple tokens per user - this is not
necessarily an uncommon request, so it is something we could consider.  But
I don't think it's required for you to resolve the issue you're seeing.
