My two-factor code isn't accepted

Last updated Jul 25, 2026

Fix rejected authenticator codes and get back in with a backup code.

  1. Enter the current code — authenticator codes refresh every 30 seconds, so wait for a fresh one and type it quickly.
  2. Check that your phone's date and time are set automatically. Time drift is the most common cause.
  3. Confirm you're reading the code for the right account in your authenticator app.
  4. If you still can't get in, use one of your saved backup codes.

Important

If you've lost both your authenticator and your backup codes, use your recovery key or contact support — keep your backup codes saved somewhere safe.
