🛠️ Troubleshooting Common 2FA Issues

If you run into any issues while setting up or using 2FA, try the following solutions:

❌ QR Code Won’t Scan?

✔️ Increase your screen brightness or ensure the QR code is fully visible.
✔️ Clean your camera lens to improve scanning accuracy.
✔️ Use manual setup – If scanning doesn’t work, your authenticator app will allow you to enter a manual setup key provided by Outstaffer.

❌ Verification Code Not Working?

✔️ Check your device’s time settings – Ensure your phone’s clock is set to automatic time or synced with the internet. Authenticator apps rely on accurate time settings.
✔️ Wait for the next code – Codes refresh every 30 seconds. Wait for the next one and try again.
✔️ Ensure you’re using the correct account – If you have multiple accounts in your authenticator app, make sure you’re using the right code for Outstaffer.

❌ Lost Access to Your Authenticator App?

✔️ Use your recovery code – When you set up 2FA, you received a recovery code. Use it to regain access.
✔️ Restore from backup – If you use an app like Authy or 1Password, check if you have a cloud backup to restore your authenticator settings.
✔️ Contact Outstaffer Support – If you’ve lost both your authenticator app and recovery codes, Contact Outstaffer Support for help resetting your 2FA.
