Wrong Code about google-authenticator HOT 10 CLOSED

I had a similar problem and the solution was to sync the server date/time. We have used rdate command for that.

Also if you think your server already has the correct time, you can set a drift option to set how much the server and client time can drift apart.

I will test this.
My drift value is 31 like a document, but i will increment.

Hey @reginato looks like you nailed down the problem. You have 31 seconds of drift between your server and your local time. You might want to reset your server time.

@reginato and it looks like your server is in another Time Zone... shouldn't it have a 3 hours difference from your local? so that they would be sync

the rotp library that google-authenticator uses is TZ aware
