Session expired or Invalid

  • Hi there, I have been using this plugin and it serves my purpose but recently I had cleared all history for my browser (firefox) and now I can’t login and it keeps saying “2fas session expired or invalid” i have tried
    1) cleared all configurations for 2FAS light – didn’t work
    2) Deactivate and delete plugin then install and re-activate – didn’t work

    Regards

    so it is not because of the limit login attempts plugin.

    Please answer the following questions:

    1. Did you update site address in general settings?
    2. Do you use multisite?
    3. Does clearing all cookies help?

    3) No I have cleared all again and again .

    Could you please try to log in on a different device and also in a different browser? Maybe there is some software on your computer which blocks plugin’s cookie. Can you confirm that there is no twofas_light_step_token cookie when you are on the second step of the login process?

    In Firefox you can use Storage Inspector to see all cookies. You can enable it in Tools > Web Developer > Storage Inspector when you are on the second step of login process.

    Please check also if you can log in on other device in different browser.

    There are two plugin’s cookies on the screenshot. There are trusted devices’ cookies in Storage Inspector. How did you add trusted devices? You wrote that you clear all browser’s data so there should be no plugin’s cookies.

    Can you also check Safari and Opera?

    The screenshot https://i.imgur.com/4mmkDnu.png was taken when I only have Microsoft edge as a trusted device then after you replied I added internet explorer now.

    Microsoft Edge – works
    Internet Explorer – works
    Firefox – doesn’t work
    Opera – doesn’t work
    safari – doesn’t work
    chrome – doesn’t work
    Samsung Native Browser – Doesn’t work

    These are the only 2 devices

    OK but you made the screenshot in Firefox. Am I right? If one browser creates a cookie, it isn’t available in other browsers. It means that you added trusted devices in Firefox.

    The problem got more complicated since the plugin works properly in Edge. We’ll continue investigating the issue and we’ll let you know if we solve it.
