  One possible solution is to make sure that the time on your device is synchronized with the internet. Google 2-factor authentication relies on accurate time settings to generate the correct codes. You can check the time settings on your device and adjust them if necessary. Additionally, you can try disabling and re-enabling the 2-factor authentication feature on the cryptocurrency exchange platform to see if that resolves the issue. If the problem persists, you may want to reach out to the customer support of the exchange for further assistance.

  I had a similar issue with Google 2-factor authentication not working on a different cryptocurrency exchange. In my case, clearing the cache and cookies of my browser solved the problem. You can try doing the same by going to the settings of your browser and clearing the browsing data. After that, try logging in to the exchange again and see if the authentication works. If not, you can also try using a different browser or device to see if that makes a difference.
