How to migrate to new server about twofactorauth

[Tsjippy]

I think it was a time issue. I changed the time zone and now it works ok

[RobThree]

99% sure the time on the server is off (or it's off on the previous one).

[Tsjippy]

Can I adjust the time in the database ? Or should I change the time on the server?

[RobThree]

I don't know what time in your database would be related to this? If you check the actual time on the server(s) you'll most likely see one of them is off.

[Tsjippy]

yes they are in different time zones:
Server 1: Thu Dec 1 16:25:05 WAT 2022
Server 2: Thu Dec 1 08:25:04 MST 2022

By default, this library uses time(), which, according to the PHP doc, returns a Unix Timestamp. which is UTC time (and TOTP uses UTC). So either you used a different timeprovider or your timezones aren't configured correctly.

I have changed the timezones, now they are in the same timezone, still doesn't work

[RobThree]

Try ensureCorrectTime() (on both servers), see the docs.

If both are OK, please give the output of echo time() on both servers (from (roughly) the same time, no more than a few seconds apart) and share your $discrepancy value, if overridden.

in bash you can do date +"%s"

and then compare the output to https://time.is/Unix_time to confirm the values are the same or within a few seconds
