We have a paid subscription of iThemes Security and when trying to enable two factor authentication, it won’t allow us to do it, because it shows the following notice:
Notice: Please verify your server’s time is correct before enabling this feature. Your server time must be within 30 seconds of your two-factor device for this to be successful. Your server is reporting the current time as 5:24:41 am This time was taken when this page was loaded and may be old. You may want to refresh this page to verify the correct time.
This is 5 hours ahead. After going through support with iThemes, we finally discovered that the Event Espresso plugin is the one causing this issue. When disable, the server time becomes normal.
I forgot to mention that YES, I did notice this note in the plugin:
Note: You must set the time zone for your city, or the city closest to you. UTC time will not work.
