Hi, having problems with 2FA, on my phone i use Google authenticator, and also have one from Skipton, when any of the websites ask for the code, it just comes back saying invalid, i have the same issue on chrome and firefox. If i use Amazons 2FA it fails from the app, but if they txt me the code it works fine. So could this be some wierd phone issue?

Edit: This is when i am browsing on my PC and entering the codes from my phone to my PC web browser
 
Time and date on your phone accurate? Try resyncing to whatever it grabs the time from, if its already set to automatically sync turn it off and on and try again. Some authenticator apps like Google's have this built in too if you go to the settings of the app.

This was going to be the same suggestion from me.

Only time users have issues with 2FA like this are when their time is out on their phone.

Set phone to auto time and in Authenticator app, tell it to resync time correction.
 
Hi, thanks both, have sorted this, seems like something was wrong with the phone time
