2 years agoHello @3rdforce! 👋
I'm sorry that you're having trouble logging into your email account. Are you using 1Password as your authenticator app for two-factor authentication or another app?
If you're using 1Password then can you make sure that the time on your devices is accurate. If your time is even a little off it can cause problems with the one-time password that is generated. To check the date and time settings on all your devices, visit this website on each of your devices and make sure the time matches:
If the date and time on a device doesn’t match, you can adjust it:
Then try to enter your one-time password into Proton's website again. If that still doesn't work then can you tell me if you were able to use the one-time password generated by 1Password before? Or is this the first time that you're trying to use it?
