Cannot Setup MFA on Mozilla Account

Hi Folks, I can't seem to setup MFA via my Mozilla profile. I'm using the Google Auth App on my mobile. Have checked that time is synced correctly. Have tried setting up on my mobile and PC. Shall I try a different Authenticator App?

Just to add that the error is to do with time sync!

Hi Quart

What makes you certain that this is a time sync error?

Hi Paul, Exact error attached 🙂 Thanks Q

I've tried taking off automatic time sync to see if that would miraculously work, no avail.

Waited out for a new code refresh on the entry in MFA app, no avail.

Tried alternative to TOTP, no avail.

It accepts the code from the app initially, seems to error out past the backup code section. I'm pasting the backup code in exactly. Then it throws the time error (see pic in last reply)
