By default WinAuth will show the current code for 10 seconds then hide it. This 
is the same code no matter if the code changes (codes are valid for a 30 second 
period). The service you use to login will allow the previous code to be used, 
so for practical purposes, it doesn't matter.

However, you can right click and choose Auto Refresh. This will then show the 
code exactly in time. You might need to also right click and choose Sync Time.

If the codes are still out of step with your iPhone at this point, can need to 
check your iPhone's time is exactly right. Unfortunately the Google 
Authenticator app on iPhone doesn't allow you to sync the time, so it relies on 
the iPhone's time being correct to the second.
