   Hello, I’m using the 2FA plugin, but I’m having the problem that although I 
   can scan the QR code, I always get an “Invalid Two-Factor Authentication code”
   error when confirming. I’ve tried it with two different apps on Android, 2FAS
   Auth and Authy, and both give the same error: the code isn’t accepted.

 * Hello [@drbrainless](https://wordpress.org/support/users/drbrainless/)
 * Thank you for trying the plugin. The most common cause of such issue is time:
   the time on your server, or on your computer or mobile device is not synced. 
   Can you please sync the time of all the devices with the time of the timezone
   they are running in / configured on the system and try again please?
 * Keep us posted.
