You must enter the 2FA app settings and select "**Time synchronisation**". After this the codes should work again. You might also have been just a bit too late confirming your passcode. In that case repeat the process of creating the passcode en entering it into the prompt/web form. |

This period is shortened if the Observatory time keeping differs slightly from your smart phone or personal computer time keeping. | In principle the system also allows passcodes that are from the previous or next timeslot.
