All my one time password is wrong in 1Password 8 running on Windows 11

sttseng

I recently build a new machine and is running Windows 11 with 1Password 8. Any website I log in have the wrong one-time password. They generated 6 digit numbers are all different from my other devices. This is quite concerning.

@sttseng This is usually caused by the time being incorrectly set on your PC. Right click on the clock, select Adjust date/time, click Sync now and check time zone.

@rootzero ah. that worked. Thanks for that.
QQ though: I noticed the 2fa is off even when I logged into the vault from a browser. Is the browser also using device time?

@sttseng Yes, the passcode generator hashes the local device time with the TOTP secret to generate the 6 digit passcodes. If it asked the internet for the time then this could be manipulated by attackers to generate codes that they could use at a later time.

I am having the same issue but the clock doesn't seem to be the problem. My one time passwords off of 1Password 8 on Windows aren't working, I have to open my phone and use the one time password from the ios app in order to login (the 6 digits between 1password on ios and windows don't match).

My time zone settings in windows are correct. Any other ideas?

Disregard my last post. It was a clock issue. My time was correct but somehow selecting set timezone automatically and then sync now fixed it for me.
