You enter the two-factor code exactly as shown. It’s correct—but login still fails.
You try again with a new code. Same result. The account isn’t locked, yet access won’t go through.
This usually happens when the verification step passes, but the login session breaks afterward. The code is valid—the session isn’t.
A correct 2FA code doesn’t guarantee a successful login.
Why Login Can Fail Even with the Right 2FA Code
- Time sync issues caused the session to expire
- Device or browser blocked session creation
- Multiple verification attempts triggered a cooldown
- Cached auth data conflicted with the new session
Signs It’s a 2FA Session Issue, Not a Code Problem
- Codes are accepted but access is denied
- No “incorrect code” error appears
- Login works on another device with the same account
- Waiting briefly allows login to succeed
How to Fix 2FA Login Failures Safely
- Wait before retrying to clear verification limits
- Sync device time automatically before logging in
- Clear browser or app cache and try again
- Use a different device or browser for verification
If 2FA codes are correct but login fails, the issue is session handling—not your authentication app.
