📌 GitHub 2FA Issue Solved – Fix "Two-Factor Code Verification Failed"
🚀 If you're unable to verify your GitHub 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication) code, the issue might be caused by incorrect time settings on your mobile device.
This guide will help you fix it in seconds! ⏳
❌ Problem: GitHub 2FA Code Not Working
When setting up GitHub Two-Factor Authentication (2FA), you may see this error:
"Two-factor code verification failed. Please try again."
This happens when the time on your phone is out of sync with GitHub’s servers. Since authenticator apps (Google Authenticator, Authy, Microsoft Authenticator) generate time-based one-time passwords (TOTP), even a small time difference can cause verification failures.
✅ Solution: Set Your Device Time to Automatic
📱 On Android:
- Open Settings.
- Go to Date & Time.
- Enable Set time automatically or Use network-provided time.
📱 On iPhone (iOS):
- Open Settings.
- Go to General > Date & Time.
- Toggle Set Automatically ON.
🔄 Final Steps:
- Restart your phone after updating the time settings.
- Open your Authenticator app and enter a newly generated 2FA code.
- It should now work perfectly! 🎉
💡 Additional Tips:
- Save your GitHub recovery codes in case you lose 2FA access.
- If the issue persists, try removing and re-adding GitHub in your authenticator app.
- Use Authy instead of Google Authenticator to enable cloud backups.
