Technical Google Authenticator

[vylex]

Hello

on my second accout, I'm trying to log in by using the google authenticator, but whenver I add a new code generated by Google - i get this error.


The code provided is incorrect, wait a few seconds before trying again.



no matter how many times I try with a new code, I still get the same error.

If no one else is complaining, that means it must be your end which implies only two possible things:

1. you are using the wrong code for the wrong account, e.g. the code of the first account in the second account.
2. the time on your the authenticator's machine is completely wrong. TOTP authentication is Time-based One Time Password relies on time being roughly the same between the source of codes and the destination which uses them.

Try syncing the Authenticator App's time.

Should be top left corner's 3 lines -> Settings -> Time correction for codes -> Sync now.

I guess your phone does not have the correct time? In settings it should be set automatically. Do not set it manually because it will drift over time.
