Description

Since this morning two of our admins get "code not valid" from the authenticator app. Typing the code fast doesn't help.

Hi Kerry, in the sign-in log both admins' codes are exactly one step behind, which usually means the phone's clock is off by a minute or more. On each phone, set the date and time to automatic (in Google Authenticator: Settings, Time correction for codes, Sync now) and try again.

Both phones were on manual time after a trip. Fixed.
