why is hotp not working with the token provided from google authenticator.

[Rama Patria Himawan]

Describe the bug
A clear and concise description of what the bug is.
I tried to verify an hotp from my google auth, but it never success.

I generated my qrcode using this website: https://stefansundin.github.io/2fa-qr/
and my otp-uri is:
otpauth://hotp/admin?secret=ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP&issuer=me&counter=2;

the otp token I get from google auth is: 281014
but it doesn't get verified

const otpFromGoogleAuth = '281014'
const otplib = require('otplib');
const secret = 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQ';
const counter = 2;
const token = otplib.hotp.generate(secret, counter);
// >>> 083514
const verified = otplib.hotp.check(otpFromGoogleAuth, secret, counter);
// >>> false

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. use google authenticator
2. create an hotp with the secret mentioned above
3. compare it with the hotp generated from otplib

Expected behavior
token from google auth should be the same with token from otplib.
or at least otplib.verify should return true, given the token from google auth.

Is there any specific times or by design the HOTP should not work with Google Authenticator?
