Is anyone else suddenly having problems with TOTP 2 factor authentication for this forum?

I was getting invalid codes all of a sudden. I had to use a backup code to log in. And then I tried disabling 2-factor and re-enabling it. But I could not re-enable it, because the 2-factor code would not work for the string of characters it provided me (I do not scan QR codes).

Is this issue just on my end?

Whats your VM/OS that you have your TOTP on? Whonix or KS based?

Very likely related:

This thread might be merged with the thread linked above if it is determined that the same root cause is behind both issues.

Edit: Looks like I was wrong, see discussion below.

Can you check now, i got locked out as well, but now i was able to login.

I find it unlikely that the issue arraybolt listed is the same issue. My host and the whonix guest are never more than 0-2 seconds apart in time.

Today I tried logging into other accounts with 2FA in whonix. They worked.

Today I also tried adding 2FA again to whonix forums. This was successful today. So the issue is apparently resolved, for now?

I have backup codes saved, in case it happens again.
