    It's frustrating when 2 factor authentication doesn't work, but don't worry, there are a few things you can try to fix the issue. First, make sure the time on your device is synced correctly. If the time is off, it can cause authentication codes to be invalid. You can also try generating a new QR code and scanning it again. If none of these solutions work, it's best to contact Bitstamp support for further assistance.

    I had the same issue with Bitstamp's 2 factor authentication. It turned out that my phone's clock was not synced correctly, which caused the authentication codes to be invalid. After fixing the time on my phone, the authentication started working fine. So, make sure to check the time on your device and sync it if necessary.
