Öyvind Lauritzen Posted February 5, 2025 Report Posted February 5, 2025 So I tried adding 2FA to my account but for some reason I couldn't get it set up, claimed it was the wrong code. I am using Authy as authenticator, but that shouldn't make a difference I think? Have never had this problem using that app before. 3
SeeYaInValhalla Posted February 9, 2025 Report Posted February 9, 2025 same problem here, I'm using samsung Authenticator app 3
Peridot Posted February 12, 2025 Report Posted February 12, 2025 (edited) Having the same problem, using Microsoft Authenticator app. Â Edit: Failed to realize it specifies Google Authenticator in the account section, guess I'll be using that one then.. Edited February 12, 2025 by Peridot update 1
Bensawsome Posted October 25, 2025 Report Posted October 25, 2025 Same thing. Trying to use bitwarden. Why on earth do we have to use google authenticator? I have never had issues with this before. 1
Aure_ Posted January 17 Report Posted January 17 Can you please add support for other authenticator apps? I don't use Google Authenticator. Thank you! 1
AcuteAangle Posted January 18 Report Posted January 18 It should work fine with any TOTP authenticator. I am using KeePassium / KeePassXC’s built-in TOTP with no issues.
Broadcast Posted Friday at 09:44 PM Report Posted Friday at 09:44 PM (edited) I am also having issues setting up 2FA with the Authy app. After scanning the QR code and Authy confirms setup was successful, the Vintage Story settings page errros due to "🗙 Error: The provided TOTP code is invalid."

Moa Posted Friday at 11:24 PM Report Posted Friday at 11:24 PM It's working fine for me, using another 3rd party (non-Google) 2FA app. But I set it up manually instead of scanning the QR code. After clicking the button to set up "Google Authenticator", click the blue text that says "can't scan the QR code?". Then it'll show you the info you need to add it manually. Copy the "key". Open your auth app, and find the button to manually add a new entry. Put a descriptive name in the "Issuer" field (like "Vintage Story" or "vintagestory.at" - whatever you want), and paste the key into the "secret" field. You can fill out the account field also if you want, but I'm pretty sure it's optional. Leave advanced options as default, unless you want to change them. Click save. Should work! Just to be sure, though - before you log out, try opening a private browser window and logging into your account through that. It should ask you for the 2FA code through "Google Authenticator" and accept the code from your app. It is pretty wild that they've labeled it "Google Authenticator" when it's just a standard 2FA protocol, though. The only other companies I've seen do that are Google and Microsoft (and for both of which you can likewise actually use any 2FA app), since they're pretending other authenticators don't exist so they can push their own, but obviously VS doesn't have that motivation.
