2fa codes not recognized?

I'm not sure what is going on, but my 2fa codes being generated have stopped working. Sometimes they start again, other times I have to use a recovery key if I can.

Any suggestioned on what to do?

    Hi @Tom Boucher!

    The very first thing that is worth checking is if the time is the same on all of your devices. 2FA is very time-sensitive, so any drift in time on any of your devices could cause the authenticator codes to be rejected.

    A good resource that makes it easy to check this is the following website:

    https://time.is/
    

    After making sure the time is the same on every one of your devices, your authenticator codes should be accepted.

    Please let me know if this worked!
