Troubleshooting authentication app issues

If the 6-digit Time-based One-Time Password (TOTP) generated by your authentication app is not recognised by the iBanFirst platform, please check that the time of day settings on your phone and computer are set to automated. This issue is often linked to poor synchronisation between the time of day settings on the computer from which you access the iBanFirst platform and the phone on which your authentication app is installed.
