GitHub: First Token Invalid #16

Closed SecUpwN closed 8 years ago

SecUpwN commented 8 years ago

Good evening @markmcavoy, I am having an Issue with Android Token when wanting to use it for GitHub Two-factor Authentication (2FA): I always have to wait until the second Token appears after I've opened the app, even though enough time is left until a new one is generated. The first Token seems to never work. Please tell me which data you need to fix this Issue. Thank you for improving your app!

Strange discovery: It seems as if the same thing happens with FreeOTP. With Duo Mobile it works fine.

Reply by GitHub staff which solved my Issue here:

Hello there,

Thank you for getting in contact with us.

This may be due to the time not being set correctly on your device. Can I ask you make sure you've got your device's clock set to automatically adjust?

If you're using Google's Authenticator app, you can follow the steps below to quickly sync the time:

Go to the main menu
Click Settings
Click Time correction for codes
Click Sync now

Let me know how you get on and don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions.

Thanks, Steve
