Authentication Codes Are Not Working?!
![[Deleted User]](https://wc.vanillicon.com/v2/c749ff5e0a615afa8dcc8e7628d5ca05.svg)
I use 1Password for my 2FA.
I both received this error on Gmail and Discord!
What's happening?! I don't have backup codes!

Hi @Zeinfier,
The 2FA used by Google Authenticator, supported in 1Password and covered by RFC 6238 uses the current time when generating the code. If your computer's clock is off by a certain amount it can mess with generating the code the server is expecting. Most computers are meant to synchronise with a time server but it's not that uncommon for things to get stuck. I would try toggling the use of the time server to make sure it's correct. If I ever need to do this myself I tend to manually adjust the current time so I know it's clearly wrong (just by a couple of minutes) so I know for certain when it has corrected itself.

Updating the time did fix it :)
It seems my timezone wasn't correct.
Thank you
