Hi,
I'm having a strange but concerning problem when logging in as root via the GUI. I have 2FA setup which has been working fine for weeks. I noticed when the server is very busy I can not login and get a couple of PW or TOTP wrong messages. Often I have to try 3-4 times until TN (12.0 U3)) lets me in. I'm using a pw manager so typos are ruled out.
My first guess was time not matching up between my remote machine and the server but my backup TOTP app on my phone is 100% in sync with my laptop and the server is getting NTP from the same pfsense firewall just like my phone and the laptop. When I log into the IPMI of the TN server the clock is 100% sync with my phone and my laptop the time mismatch seems unlikely.
Today it won't let me in at all, which happened before and then the next day it would work again.
Slightly concerning and now I want to turn off 2FA as it seems it's unreliable.
Has anyone seen this as well?
Thanks!
