2FA Google Auth time sync issue
Options
Hi all...
this is a question (not a issue yet)..
Google auth as 2fa for VPN works well, but:
what if the mobile with Google app is in a different time zone than USG/ATP?
Android App has a function "Time Correction" (not sure it's the correct name), but as far as i know IOS version doesn't.
Has anyone tried this scenario yet?
Thanks in advance
Fred

Time zones do not affect Google Authenticator’s mechanism, as it uses the Unix coordinated universal time (UTC) timestamp internally.0

All you have to do is make sure your Google Authenticator app's time is synced correctly. Launch the app, tap the Menu button (three dots), and go to Settings > Time Correction for Codes > Sync now. You should find that your Authenticator codes work properly after this.
