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.
On Android:
- - Go to the Main Menu on the app
- - Select Settings
- - Select Time correction for codes
- - Select Sync now
On iOS (Apple iPhone):
- - Go to the iPhone Settings App. (your phone settings area)
- - Select General
- - Selec Date & Time
- - Enable Set Automatically
- - If it’s already enabled, disable it, wait a few seconds and re-enable
Also, check if the time on your computer is set correctly.
- 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).
