Authenticator code not working

Recommended Posts

Took a hiatus from the game until some patches rolled out and when trying to log in I couldn't.

I ended up resetting my PW but still getting blocked by the authenticator.

I have gotten a new cell # & phone recently and I suspect this is the culprit, thought I was able to scan the barcode from the e-mail first sent out when I added an authenticator. This resulted in a cycling 6 digit passcode but it never worked - again I suppose this is because my phone number itself is different. Not sure. 

 

Anyway,

Please let me know what I need to do next to restore my account access. Thanks.

Make sure that your new phone is synchronized to internet time, and that you've enabled "Time correction for codes" in your 2FA app.

Thanks for the help there Hudson but it is still telling me I have an invalid code. Not sure why it lets me add the authenticator but the codes don't work. I'm sure it's for the right account and such because the authenticator has my account name on it automatically for that particular one.

 

edit: just solved it, apparently I had 2 more barcodes to try in the e-mails. Scanning one would immediately change the code. The last or most recent barcode had the right "secret" or whatever it called it.
