Maybe there is some software on your computer which blocks plugin’s cookie. Can you confirm that there is no _twofas\_light\_step\_token_ cookie when you are on the second step of the login process? - This reply was modified 7 years, 2 months ago by [2FAS](https://wordpress.org/support/users/2fas/). * Thread Starter [archproject](https://wordpress.org/support/users/archproject/) * (@archproject) * [7 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/session-expired-or-invalid/#post-11217938) * I dunno how to check to confirm that there is no twofas_light_step_token cookie. * I pressed F12 below is what I get * > [View post on imgur.com](https://imgur.com/r3VKDTe) * Thread Starter [archproject](https://wordpress.org/support/users/archproject/) * (@archproject) * [7 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/session-expired-or-invalid/#post-11217946) * Could it be something that is saved in the database ? my mysql * Plugin Author [2FAS](https://wordpress.org/support/users/2fas/) * (@2fas) * [7 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/session-expired-or-invalid/#post-11217977) * In Firefox you can use Storage Inspector to see all cookies. You can enable it in Tools > Web Developer > Storage Inspector when you are on the second step of login process. * Please check also if you can log in on other device in different browser. * Thread Starter [archproject](https://wordpress.org/support/users/archproject/) * (@archproject) * [7 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/session-expired-or-invalid/#post-11218176) * I have tried logging in from 3 different computers and 1 adroid phone. nothing worked. but when I add a new browser (MS EDGE) to the list it works but not on chrome or firefox.

There are trusted devices’ cookies in Storage Inspector. How did you add trusted devices? You wrote that you clear all browser’s data so there should be no plugin’s cookies. * Can you also check Safari and Opera? * Thread Starter [archproject](https://wordpress.org/support/users/archproject/) * (@archproject) * [7 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/session-expired-or-invalid/#post-11218317) * The screenshot [https://i.imgur.com/4mmkDnu.png](https://i.imgur.com/4mmkDnu.png) was taken when I only have Microsoft edge as a trusted device then after you replied I added internet explorer now. * Microsoft Edge – works Internet Explorer – works Firefox – doesn’t work Opera– doesn’t work safari – doesn’t work chrome – doesn’t work Samsung Native Browser– Doesn’t work * These are the only 2 devices * > [View post on imgur.com](https://imgur.com/cKaws6F) * Plugin Author [2FAS](https://wordpress.org/support/users/2fas/) * (@2fas) * [7 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/session-expired-or-invalid/#post-11218366) * OK but you made the screenshot in Firefox. Am I right? If one browser creates a cookie, it isn’t available in other browsers. It means that you added trusted devices in Firefox. * The problem got more complicated since the plugin works properly in Edge. We’ll continue investigating the issue and we’ll let you know if we solve it.
