Why am I getting Invalid MFA code?

You may receive the Invalid MFA code error message after attempting to enroll in MFA in the ROAM portal.


The Invalid MFA code error message may be displayed for the following reasons:

  1. The previous MFA enrollment was not saved successfully due to a time-out in the ROAM portal.
  2. The 6-digit code from your authenticator was not entered correctly or has expired.
  3. The clock time displayed on your computer is mismatched with the time displayed on your mobile device.

This article will help you troubleshoot the Invalid MFA code error message and complete your MFA enrollment in the ROAM portal.


Must know:

  • The instructions below apply to the Microsoft Authenticator application. However, Worldline’s MFA process connects with a variety of authentication methods. Please use the steps below for your chosen authentication method.
  • If you enter the wrong MFA code three times, you’ll need to log in again. Be sure to remove any existing accounts and rescan the QR code or re-enter the new key provided on the enrollment screen.
