What happens if u enter a TIMED OUT code? i.e within a moment after it timed out and new code has appeared.

 

[Sushubh]

i would assume that it should not accept the code if the time has passed. cannot confirm though.

I think on actual timer toleration wud be slightly more than the one shown on mobile.So if mobile shows timeout after 30 seconds, then Google might be in reality timing out that code after 1 minute.

i guess that is possible. on the desktop front, i can really type the code quickly enough. on mobile, i usually wait for the timer to start with a fresh code to memorize it quickly and type in the browser. painful on the mobile phone considering my short term memory is pretty fcuked up.

Just click on the code and it will give you open to copy it...so you dont need to memorize if logging on phone
