The one-time code hasn't come through to my phone
Check your phone is in service. If your phone is in service and you haven't received a code after 30 seconds, resend the code.

I get the 'Code is incorrect' message
If your code is incorrect, you'll get a message to ask you to try again.
Wait 30 seconds and then select the Re-send code button next to the One-time code field.
If your code is still incorrect, please contact our Customer Support team on 0800 665 463.
I get an error message of 'Invalid Authenticator Code' even when entering a new one-time code
The 'Invalid Authenticator Code' message pops up if the date and time on your phone are incorrect. To fix this you need to set your phone to update the date and time automatically.
For an Android phone:
Go to Settings>General Management>Date and time>Automatic Date and Time.
For an IOS phone (Apple):
Go to Settings>General>Date and time>Set Automatically.

My primary, or default option for receiving my one-time code is not coming up
When you set up more than 1 MFA option, you can select your primary option.
When you log into New Landonline a one-time code will be sent to your primary MFA option.
For example, your primary option is SMS text message. When you log into New Landonline a one-time code will be sent to you by SMS by default.
If your one-time codes aren't being sent to your primary option, remove your other MFA options so it becomes the primary option.
Remove a secondary MFA option
Go to your main menu in the top right-hand corner of your Landonline page.
Select Login options from your main menu.
Follow these instructions to delete your secondary option:
Your remaining option becomes the primary option, or default option.
You can re-add a secondary option without changing your primary option as the preferred one.
