# Why does Facebook reject my correct two-factor code after I change phones?

I replaced my phone recently and set up my authenticator app again, but Facebook keeps saying the code is incorrect. The codes work for another account, and I’ve checked that my phone’s time is set automatically.

Has anyone run into this after switching devices? I’d like to know what recovery options are safe to try before I risk getting locked out, especially if I no longer have the old phone.
