I get a "invalid code" error on Merchant panel user activation page, what should I do?

First, please ensure that you used the Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) app to first scan the QR code from the Merchant panel Username activation page. Once the QR code has been scanned, the authenticator (2FA) app will display a code that should be then entered on the Merchant panel page. 

Note: Do not use the long code visible on the the Merchant panel page or the 6 digit verification code from the password reset email.

If you get an error after entering the code on the Merchant panel page, try one of these options:

Wait for the authenticator app to refresh and display new code

  • The authenticator app will display the code for a short period of time. If the code is not entered on the Merchant panel user activation page in that time frame, the authenticator app refreshes and displays a new code. Make sure the code is entered within this time period.

Reinstall the authenticator app 

  • Delete the authenticator app from your phone and dowload it again

Download a different authenticator app

  • Download a different authenticator app. Then scan the QR code again and enter the code on the Merchant panel page.

Check the settings on your phone

For iPhones
