Hi, I registered myself in a discussion forum that uses your system. I tried to set up 2 factor authentication there but it failed in the last step. When I entered back the code from my device it responded with error: Invalid authentication code Here on your forum I successfully enabled it. Do yo…

I recently had the same issue on a forum I host, and in the end I figured out that it occurred because my server time was slightly off.

Here is my Ubuntu time settings: Local time: Thu 2018-06-14 00:24:04 EDT Universal time: Thu 2018-06-14 04:24:04 UTC RTC tim…
