+ | ====Error Message==== | ||
+ | If you see **Two-factor authentication has not been setup for your account < | ||
+ | the computer documentation on the institute webpage for the description and setup of 2FA**, this means your secret code has not trickled down to this system yet. It may take up to 30 minutes after setting up 2FA before all Observatory systems know about your secret key. Thus be patient ant try again in 30 minutes. | ||

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. |
In principle the system also allows passcodes that are from the previous or next timeslot. So you should have a total of 90 seconds to deliver a trusted passcode. 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.
