How to solve Two Factor Authentication Code error?
SMS passwords are not very secure, and sometimes they are very insecure. Because; It’s easy to sneak a peek at passwords sent by SMS if lock-screen notifications are enabled. Also; using various underhanded tactics (simcard copy etc.), criminals can get hold of a the victim’s number can will communicate. Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security to your digital account. An authenticator app is an app you can download on your mobile device that will give you a six-digit code that you will need to use to log in with two-factor authentication.
When you enable 2FA, also known as two-step verification, Facebook, whatsapp, Amazon and other services will require a special code in addition to your regular password when signing into the app.
Authentication error when Signing in Using 2-Step Verification:
1 – Two factor verification code – error!
or
2- The login code you entered doesn’t match the one sent to your phone.Please check the number and try again.
If you receive a “2FA code error” after you input your Google Authentication code, please follow the instructions below to solve the problem:
Authenticator app 2FA codes are based on time and thus require the time on your phone to be in-sync with the official time. To make sure that you have the correct time on your device or Google Authenticator app, follow the instructions below.
1- Open the Google Authenticator app.
2- In the top right, tap the menu button (three vertical dots) and select Settings.
3- Under Settings there is a “Time correction for codes” option, please select it and then click on “Sync now“. On the next screen, you’ll see a confirmation that the time has been synced. You should now be able to use your verification codes.
Alternatively;
Activate the option “Automatic date and time” in the settings of your mobile and afterwards resync Google Authenticator in the app settings.
That’s all. I hope you found this guide useful.
