Resolve common issues with one-time codes and authenticator apps.

Most common fix: check your phone time settings

Authenticator codes can fail if your device clock is out of sync.

Do this first:

  • Set your phone’s date/time to automatic

  • Close and reopen your authenticator app

  • Try the newest code again


Other common issues

1) You’re using the wrong authenticator entry

If you have multiple Konfir-related entries in your app (or multiple organisations), you might be using the wrong one.

Fix: Look for the entry that matches your Konfir account/organisation and try again.

2) You changed phones or reinstalled your authenticator

If you no longer have access to the original authenticator setup, you won’t be able to generate valid codes.

Fix: Ask your organisation admin to reset your MFA, then sign in and set it up again.

3) You’re stuck in a loop at sign-in

This is sometimes caused by browser session issues.

Fix:

  • Try incognito/private browsing

  • Clear cache/cookies for Konfir

  • Try another browser/device


If you need an MFA reset

If you still have access to an admin at your organisation, contact them to reset MFA for your account.

If you don’t, contact [email protected] with:

  • your organisation name

  • your account email address

  • confirmation that you need an MFA reset
