WHERE to key security code? What Page? Heading? NOTHING on any of those pages indicate "Key security code HERE." I GVE up! I have been round & round & canNOT get a response from the email that SHOULD give this information.

I cannot receive confirmation codes from yahoo to access my emails. I have tried everything else and have been advised to check with my browser (Firefox).

I arrive at 'Enter verification code' and given 3 options; I use 'Text' via my Android phone. I don't do social networks.

It has been working grand up until the last 3 weeks or there about.

I have very important emails waiting and it is all driving me crazy.

I cannot access Yahoo help; it seems I have to log in which I cannot because I need to receive these codes to log in.

Can anyone help? Personally I think it should be Mozilla but again I seem to be going around in circles. And I cannot receive emails as the check box states ..... Email me when someone answers the thread.

Best Regards Everyone

I cannot access an account anymore due to the fact that I lost access to 2FA. I kindly request that account to be deleted.

Hello! I contacted you with a problem with the impossibility of installing two-factor authentication on my account. Despite successfully entering the code and saving backups, two-factor authentication disappears immediately after refreshing the page. Mozilla stores all my passwords and data - therefore, two-factor authentication is very important for my account.

After I enter the email and password for Gemini account, Firefox requires my verification by entering passkey. I use the Authy 2factor system as security to enter the account. I did not set up a passkey for Gemini account. I did set up a passkey on Firefox for a different account with a different email. Does that passkey work for multiple accounts??. This does not seem very secure as all someone would need to enter my accounts is my pin, which would not be too difficult to discover.

Appreciate help on this issue of security. Thanks Henry

Dear,

i opened my firefox and found my self logged out automaticly

and when am trying to login and enter the activation code sent to my email i recieve this msg

You’ve tried too many times. Please try again ⁨in 5 minutes⁩.

Hi All,

I am trying to setup 2-Factor Verification for my Mozilla account however every time I enter in the 6 digit code it shows up with "Invalid or expired code. Check your authenticator app and try again."

And I am positive I am doing it right. As I would normally do it; scan the QR code, enter in the 6 digit code.

If anyone has the same issue or solved it, please let me know.

I am logged into my computer. When I try to sync my phone Firefox with my computer, I am asked to provide a number from an authentication app. I don't have any such authentication app and can't figure out what the Firefox one is. There does not seem to be a workaround. I can't use a backup code or reset option. I am trying to figure out what to do.

Thank you

When setting up 2fa. I scan the QR code. Enter the 6 digit pin generated by google authenticator. Download my backup codes and enter 1 when prompted then firefox says sync time and try again. I am running Ubuntu and have an android phone. Ubutu is set to automatic date. time and timezone. My phone is also set to automatic date&time. I have enabled seconds display on Ubuntu and phone the are synchronized to the second. I have tried this on multiple computers. Google authenticator works with all 9 other 2fa logins I use it for. I have tried many times and asked AI what I'm doing wrong Grok said I am not doing anything wrong after walking through the entire process. I have tried clearing cache and deleting cookies, signing out and back in without success. Please help I use firefox as my password manager and love it but want it to be as secure as possible.

thank you very much. Thomas

I have Mozilla Firefox as my browser on my i phone. I noticed an exclamation symbol saying" enter your PW to connect". I go to firefox.com/pair on my desktop. I navigate to the QR code and take a picture. I confirm the desktop with the i phone. Then it asks for 2 step verification code from an authenticator. I don't get one. So I download an Authenticator app. And nothing shows up there either. The problem is getting a code from an authenticator to complete the process. What should I do?

Hi!

I'm unable to setup my Two-step authentication on my account. Everytime i do it i do the following steps:

Click to add Two-step authentication Scan the QR code with Ente Enter the code that is generated Download and copy the backup code Enter the copy code

Then i get the following message: "There was a problem enabling two-step authentication. Check that your device’s clock is set to update automatically and start over."

Must have done this like 5 times now and it's always the same. I have checked that the clock it set to automatic. I have tried 3 different computers and 1 phone, it's always the same.

What can i do about this?

Hi, i am trying to upload a Firefox extension, it is my first one and i am trying to upload it. I however cannot get it to work as the code my authentication app does not work. I have tried several authentication apps but i am always returned with the same error message whenever i enter in my code. "Invalid two-step authentication code". Is their a fix to this, so far i tried using google authenticator and DuoMoblile. Thanks

How does one scan a QR code while using a PC? I thought I had set up Two-Step Auth a long time ago, then I realized I wasn't being asked for a code. After reading the instructions, I am very confused on How to SET UP the TWO-STEP authentication code.

Why do I need to use a 3rd party app to set up Two-Step?

Thanks for your help, Rhon

Getting this error: There was a problem enabling two-step authentication. Check that your device’s clock is set to update automatically and start over.

Yes Im on the right timezone, updated on auto sync and have tried multiple 2FA apps.

I cant setup my 2FA every time Im at the end of the process where I need to add one of my security keys it just crashed with note that my time of the device is not corrent or whatever. Why, how, what does my time has to do with anythin? Nepodařilo se zapnout dvoufázové ověřování. Zkontrolujte, zda jsou hodiny na vašem zařízení nastaveny na automatickou aktualizaci, a začněte znovu.

Tried like 25 times with different autenticators. Is it like broken or what is happening?
