Problem with Double Login Authentication - Please help

[Invisibility22]

Hey,
I can't get the Double Login Authentication completed. Please help if you have any idea what's wrong with this.
Here's what I did, tried a couple of times, but still didn't work:
- Downloaded Google authenticator
- Tried to scan the code, but got a message that i need another application called "Barcode Scanner". Clicked OK, downloaded that one and installed it.
- Opened Google authenticator again, chosen the option to "scan a barcode", scanned it, then got a code that renews every few seconds ( got a green clock showing time left ). Unde it, it says "TradeWoWAccountsBuySellEpicNPC". I enter that code before it expires, but every time I tried, I just got "vBulletin Message Invalid authentication code." error.
- It goes without saying that I always saved the Recovery Key, before each try.

So, what am I doing wrong or what's wrong with the system ?

Later edit: basically my problem is quite similar to what this guy posted. I've noticed he is protected now, so I guess the problem can be fixed

It's hard to figure out where the problem is since it's a 3rd party app that's being used.

On Google Authenticator, clear out all the entries for EpicNPC. Then start over and try it again. Im not sure if you had multiple entries and maybe that was the issue, but perhaps by doing that it'll fix it.

Thanks for answers, guys Found a fix meanwhile, on google:

"The time is off on your Android. Authenticator's codes are time-dependent. To check/fix the issues go to Authenticator's Settings -> Time correction for codes -> Sync now. It'll tell you whether this was the issue, and, if it was, the issue will have been corrected (without adjusting the time on your phone -- only in the app itself)"

In order to access the Authenticator settings, which seems kinda counter-intuitive, you have to press your "menu" button, which is usually located in the lower-left side of your smartphone and then go to "Time correction for codes -> Sync now". After I did that, the code generated was good and accepted from the first try

Glad you got it working. Thanks for posting the fix too
