Using Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security to your account - but what if the code isn’t working? Don’t worry. Here’s exactly what to check and how to fix it.
🔁 1. Double-check the Code
- Make sure you're entering the 6-digit code shown in your authenticator app right now.
- These codes refresh every 30 seconds, so an old one won’t work.
- Make sure you didn’t mix up digits or enter a space by accident.
⏰ 2. Check the Time on Your Device
2FA relies on time-based one-time passwords (TOTP). If the time on your phone or authenticator device isn’t perfectly synced, the code might be invalid.
How to fix this:
- Go to your device settings and make sure automatic time/date is enabled.
- Restart your authenticator app if needed.
📱 3. Make Sure You’re Using the Right App
Only use the trusted apps that you originally set up 2FA with. Supported apps include:
- Google Authenticator
- Microsoft Authenticator
- Authy
- 1Password
- LastPass Authenticator
🔐 4. Still Not Working? Try These Steps:
- Open the Menu → go to 2FA section → disable and re-enable 2FA if needed.
- If you saved your backup recovery codes, you can use one of them to log in.
🆘 5. Reach Out to Support
If none of the steps above help, contact our Support Team.
Let them know you're having issues with your 2FA code. They’ll help you regain access securely.
Pro Tip: Enable Backup Options
If your app supports it, enable multi-device backup (like in Authy) or securely store your recovery keys - so you’re never locked out.
