 * When you receive the code in your email, do you double click the code to highlight
   it so you can copy it? If so, when you highlight it using that method, it highlights
   the code and a space after the code. So when you copy it and paste the code into
   the verification field, it also pastes that space _(which will cause your code
   to fail when trying to log in)_. Just a FYI, if that’s how you are copying and
   pasting.

 * ^In my previous post, that’s in regards to the email codes. If it’s TOTP or U2F,
   then not sure why it wouldn’t work.

 * [@macfrederick](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macfrederick/) TOTP requires
   the server time to be correct. Could you please verify that?
