Error E33 Please Set The Clock On Your Device

[Wonton]

I have authenticator put on my account. I recently switched phones and got my Authenticator set up to it and it worked fine for the first time. I tried it again when I needed to log in again, and it brought up "**Please set the clock on your device. (Time now: 06:58:03 GMT) E33**" I cannot put specific seconds in my phone, so theres no possible way that I can correctly do this. Please help.

Did you try the steps provided on the Authentication FAQ?

Q. My Google Authenticator codes aren't working.

A. This might be because the time on your Google Authenticator app is not synced correctly.

 

To make sure that you have the correct time:

On iOS:

1. Go to the iPhone Settings app (your phone settings area)

2. Select General

3. Select Date & Time

4. Disable the Set Automatically option and re-enable again

5. Reboot your device

 

If that doesn't work, you'll want to open a ticket under Lost auth. Before opening a ticket, clear your browser's cookies or open an inconito window. Also, make sure to input the email address associated with the locked account and that your subject is at least five words.

 

If you experience errors while opening a ticket after following the steps above, message a volunteer on the forums and they'll help you out.

E33. The time on your device does not match with xat's time. Try re-syncing the device's clock.

 

You need to adjust your phone settings to be compatible with the region that you live in (according to UTC).

I set it up with GMT time exact and it still says the same. I don't believe Apple allows you to re-sync.

Latest version of iOS, since my phone is very new. iOS 10.3.3. I've even tried syncing the time on my laptop to GMT. This all started after I used mobile, and I've tried everything apple support has provided.

Besides of the time on the phone, did you tried re-sync the time on the settings of the authenticator app?

Google Authenticator will not let you re-sync the time, or anything else. It only lets you add tokens and delete them.

Hi,

 

On your old phone are you still able to delete the auth app and try to re-install the auth app on your new phone.

Hello, I currently do not have my old phone as my service provider does not let us have our old phones unless we are on a different plan.

I see, but did you try to re-install the auth app on your new phone?

Oh yes, many of times. I also tried other authenticator apps but those still didn't work either.
