Google Auth Not Working For You Too?

Open mcollie1 opened this issue 9 years ago • 1 comments

I'm having difficulty with Google Auth for some users. SMS codes work fine, but integrating the gem with Google Auth, not so much. I've attempted it with the bar code and manual entry, but neither work. Has anyone else had this issue. I've also tried syncing the time. Still no go.

Upon further inspection, I think it could be the time drift. I modified my initialization to 60 secs, instead of 30. Also, this guy appears to be having the same issue with Google Auth and AWS.

"Sounds like Amazon's time servers aren't matching up with your phone's clock. This is almost certainly why the codes aren't syncing up."

UPDATE (solved?):

An out of sync device isn't the only reason why Google Auth doesn't but, but incorrect times on the server.
