 * On the ‘Setup the 2FA method’ screen I scan the QR code, then I try to enter 
   the 6 digit code, but I always get ‘Invalid Two Factor Authentication code.’
 * I tried this with Google Authenticator and Microsoft Authenticator.
 * If I try using email- I receive an email, no problem.
 * What could be the problem here and how can it be fixed?

   scanning the QR code? Does that work?
