So, someday this yr, the USA stopped implementing daylight financial savings time, in order that our time shouldn’t be adjusted by 1 hour twice a yr. I reside on the east coast and have an encrypted android system that’s offline completely. I’ve put in the Google Authenticator app on this offline system and it has been working flawlessly (offline) for 4 or 5 years now. This yr, I attempted to entry an change that I’ve an account with, I enter my 2FA to log in and it retains telling me that I’ve the improper code. I’ve set the time appropriately, the time zone, the date (I’ve had to do that earlier than to right the time on this offline system, it’s constantly off by a couple of minutes per yr so it must be corrected infrequently) and nonetheless it tells me my code is improper. I went backwards and forwards with the change and disabled my 2FA and locked withdrawals. Here is the place issues get wierd…

I figured it was an issue with the change till I attempted to log right into a 2nd change the place I used to be having the identical difficulty. This tells me that it’s a drawback with my 2FA… Here is the place issues get extra bizarre…

I can now verify that none of my 2FA codes being generated are right on the offline system. I deleted the 2FA for the primary change and set it up once more with the offline system, it nonetheless does not work… but when I export the 2FA to my common cellphone (on-line), the code being generated works superb. I put in the newest model of Google Authenticator onto my cellphone, and used a USB stick with switch the most recent model to my offline system for set up. It nonetheless will not generate the suitable code.

I do not know the place the problem lies… any assistance is appreciated. I actually don’t desire my 2FA system to ever be linked to the web.
