Authenticator App Code Not Working?

I was just making new backup codes lately, and I’ve tried inputting the Authenticator App code, multiple times, but just keeps saying invalid. I’ve never had an issue in the past couple years, but now it’s just not working.

That means if ever got logged out, and it wouldn’t work in the future. I probably would of lost my account. Luckily I had 1 backup code left to disable 2 step auth, and instead I just enabled Email (Secure).

I don’t mind going back to 2 step auth now that I’ve regenerated more backup codes by using Email (Secure). But kinda annoying if 2 step auth doesn’t work and I’ll have to keep just using the backup codes going back and forth between Email (Secure) to generate more.

note: I can’t go back to 2 step auth now, when confirming the code that’s on the app, it just says it’s invalid every time, even when the code refreshes, so for now I’m stuck Email (Secure)

Anyone else have an issue with Authenticator App code just not working?

For whatever device you have the authenticator app on, make sure the date and time settings are set properly. If there’s an option for automatic time try that too.

no way, setting the time to automatic fixed it
