Here below are knows use cases when MFA authentication will not work.

1st scenario: wrong authentication method used during user invite

In case the user was invited with wrong authentication method (eg. LiveID or AAD instead of "Account" option) the user will not be able to access the platform until that has been corrected by Appxite. 

The user will only be able to see the Catalog.

If that is the case the Support ticket should be followed.  

2nd scenario: the PC and mobile device are using different time zone settings

That would result in the following error:

If that is the case, make sure that the PC and mobile devices are both using the same timezone settings.

That would result in the following error:

If that is the case, please make sure that the PC and Authenticator app on a mobile device both have the same time set up.
