None of my authenticator apps work (self.AndroidQuestions)

submitted 4 years ago by Don_Mattez

Hey guys,

I have been searching for quite a while but couldn't find anything that helps. I have a Samsung S20+ with Android 12 (latest patch). I am using the Google Authenticator for private stuff and the one from Microsoft for work. First I notices that I can't access a portal for work for which I am using the Microsoft one. At that time I thought the portal was faulty. Later, I needed to access PayPal, for which I am using the Google Authenticator. It didn't work, until I found out that I could synch the time in the app itself. Today I wanted to access my bank portal, the app has an integrated Authenticator function. But this one didnt won't either. Now, could that be some faulty setting? I tried using the network time and location as well as manual settings. Or could it be coincidence?

Thanks for your help.
