As 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 2y agoI always forget which services this works for and which ones it doesn't :)
- block_dagger 2y agoThis feature of TOTP auth is universal afaik.
- teaearlgraycold 2y agoNope. They need to implement it server-side.
- pc86 2y 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is some pretty surprising service that doesn't support this, the moment it disappears from your phone the code is no longer valid.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 2y 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 2y 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.
