 * I’m using the Google Authenticator app and I’m adding the 6 digit passcode from
   the app and then getting the WordPress login screen. I then try to login with
   my WordPress username and password but it then goes back to the passcode enter
   screen.
 * I’m not sure if I did anything wrong setting it up but I scanned the barcode 
   and it looked to be like with my Amazon 2-factor login and that works OK.

 * Hi Rob,
 * It seems you are redirected back to login page due to conflict with some other
   plugin.What version of the plugin are you using? Please send us the list of plugins
   installed on your site at [info@miniorange.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/locked-out-google-authenticator-passcode-not-working/info@miniorange.com?output_format=md)
   so that we can debug the issue. We also tried to reach you by email but couldn’t
   get any answer.
 * Thanks,
    miniOrange Team

 * I don’t know if this is the issue or not but this worked for me on another site
   where I was using Google Authenticator.
 * If you have Google Authenticator on Android, go Settings > Time correction for
   codes > Sync now
 * Hope this helps

 * Nope, it still kicks me back to the WP login screen. I am currently locked out
   of several sites that need to be worked on.
