  I had the same problem with Google 2-factor authentication on a cryptocurrency trading platform. I found that resetting the 2-factor authentication settings and generating new backup codes solved the issue for me. You can do this by going to your Google Account settings, selecting 'Security', and then '2-Step Verification'. From there, you can disable and re-enable the 2-factor authentication and generate new backup codes.

  I faced a similar problem with Google 2-factor authentication on a different cryptocurrency trading platform. I found that disabling and re-enabling the 2-factor authentication, and then scanning the QR code again in the Google Authenticator app, resolved the issue for me. It's worth a try if you're experiencing authentication problems.

  I've encountered this issue before, and one solution that worked for me was to disable the 2-factor authentication on the cryptocurrency trading platform, then re-enable it and set it up again. This seemed to refresh the authentication process and resolve the problem. Give it a try and see if it helps.

  Sometimes, the issue with Google 2-factor authentication not working on cryptocurrency trading platforms can be related to the QR code scanning process. Make sure you're scanning the code correctly and that there are no obstructions or glare affecting the scanning process. If the issue persists, consider reaching out to the support team of the cryptocurrency trading platform for further assistance.
