minus-squareenoent@lemmy.ilwwbs.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoLemmy uses a SHA256 digest for its TOTP codes. Basically every other service (and therefore most authenticator apps) use SHA1. So although you provide the right secret, you get a different code because it’s derived from a different hashing mechanism
minus-squarekamek@lemmy.fmhy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoOoooh ok cool. Sadly I’m using MS Authenticator so I can’t specify the type. I really don’t want to migrate to another one so hopefully this gets fixed I know there is a ticket open on github.
