Workaround:

iOS Devices -
- Go to Settings > General > Date & Time. Enable Set Automatically. If this setting was already enabled, you can disable it for a moment, then re-enable.
Android Devices -
- Go to Settings > Date & Time. Make sure that the box next to Automatic is checked.
- If you use an Android device with Google Authenticator, the app may not be synced correctly. To fix this, launch the Google Authenticator app on your mobile device, tap the Settings option in the main menu, tap Time correction for codes, and tap Sync now.
