OneView provides two-factor authentication (2FA) for extra security. This article lists the troubleshooting steps to resolve issues with logging in when two-factor authentication is enabled. For more information on 2FA, see Two-factor authentication in OneView.
The Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) recommends not permanently disabling 2FA as this provides an extra layer of security in the event your login credentials are compromised.
Code is incorrect or expired
Authenticator app codes change every 30 seconds. This error indicates the code was entered after the time period lapsed. To resolve this:
- Sync the time on the mobile device authentication app.
- Enter the most recent code from your app before it expires.
Session timed out
This error indicates the login session timed out after you entered your password. The time on the device you are logging in with must match the time on your device with the authenticator app. To resolve this:
- Sync the time settings on the device you are using to log in.
- Log in to OneView.
If there are still console login issues with OneView, have another Global Administrator reset 2FA, or contact Support. For more information, see Troubleshoot two-factor authentication (2FA) in OneView.
