Hi there joeSh

It's up to each website how long their TOTP token is valid, so we can't change that in 1Password. 30 seconds seems to be the industry standard – short enough to refresh frequently, long enough to let you enter it manually if needed.

If you're finding that codes are only valid during certain timeframes, that would suggest that your system clock is off by a few seconds or so.

☞ Check https://time.is/ on your device(s) to make sure the system clock is accurate to the second. If it isn't, adjust it in your device's settings, or choose to have it set automatically.

Hope that helps! :)
