This gets doubly bad when I go to watch a streamer I haven't seen in a while, I start getting ads, then I have to log in. Put in my creds, get my phone, find the MFA app, find the Twitch in the list, see the code expires in a few seconds, wait while it flashes red at me, see the new code, enter the new code, get logged in - and the ad restarts since I'm logged in now and page refreshes.
- 2024throwaway 3y agoAs comes up whenever the "waiting for a new code" issue is discussed, you can enter that "old" code for usually up to 30 seconds. You don't need to wait.
- pc86 3y agoI always forget which services this works for and which ones it doesn't :)
- block_dagger 3y agoThis feature of TOTP auth is universal afaik.
- teaearlgraycold 3y agoNope. They need to implement it server-side.
- pc86 3y agoThere is some pretty surprising service that doesn't support this, the moment it disappears from your phone the code is no longer valid. It might be Microsoft if you're not using MS's auth app? Like I said I forget which one it is so I always just wait if I'm <5 seconds from expiry, but it is big enough that I was very surprised when it happened.
- AdManusMedici 3y agoIf you set it up this way. An admin can choose not to or could allow e. g. 8 previous codes. That would allow four and a half minutes to put in any code of this timespan.
- dylan604 3y agomight as well try it while you're waiting, yeah? if you get in, you're done. if not, you were just going to wait anyways.
