If the Google Authenticator codes aren't working, it's likely because the time on the app isn't correctly synchronised. Here's how you can fix it:
Synchronise time for Android phones
- Go to the main menu in the Google Authenticator app.
- Click on More (three dots) and then Settings
- Then click on Time correction for codes and then Sync now.
- On the next screen, the app confirms that the time has been synchronised. The codes from Google Authenticator should now work again.
Synchronise time for iPhone
- Go to iPhone Settings
- Select General and then select Date & Time
- The option Set Automatically should be enabled
- Restart your iPhone (optional, if the app still doesn't work)
