My authenticator app generates codes that don't work.
Causes
First, check to see that your phone time matches the time on your computer. The authenticator is time-stamped, so if the two do not match it will not work.
Solutions
- Each code is only valid for a short period of time. Try using a new code.
- Make sure the time on your phone matches the time on your computer.
- -Google Authenticator app
- 1.-Go to the main menu on the Google Authenticator app
- 2.-Select Settings
- 3.-Select Time correction for codes
- 4.-Select Sync now
- 5.-Restart your mobile device.
- -Microsoft Authenticator app
- 1.-Update with the latest Android and iOS version for the best authentication experience.
- 2.-Check that the date and time in your device's settings are set to sync automatically with the Internet network you are on.
- 3.-This can also be resolved by setting your Android or iPhone to automatically update its time. For an iPhone this is Setting > General, Date and time > Automatically correct time.
- Connect to Issabel from Chrome.
- Add your key again on your Authenticator app, verifying that you correctly entered your secret key, go to Multi-Factor_Authentication_(MFA).
