After working correct for over a year in the last few days my TOTP is incorrect. Before this happened the TOTP worked for a few times without me using “onlykey-cli settime” and I’m still not getting the NOTSET message when using the onlykey without setting the time. But either way, with or without using the “onlykey-cli settime” I’m getting an incorrect 2nd factor TOTP. Is there a solution for this? ---

OnlyKey does require the correct time, this is set by the Onlykey app, the web app [https://apps.crp.to](https://apps.crp.to) or the CLI. If you want to test the output of OnlyKey compared to actual you can do that on the site here with a test value [https://totp.danhersam.com/](https://totp.danhersam.com/) ---

The problem was I was leaving the onlykey duo plugged in after shutting down the pc then restarting. I think it should work while doing this but the solution was to just unplug the onlykey and replug it in AFTER restarting the pc. ---

That shouldn’t really be a problem. I’ve always had my OnlyKeys plugged in for years. After a reboot I don’t even have to re-enter the pin. (Only after a cold start.) ---

I’m on PopOS 22.04. What operating system are you using? ---

See my Profile Picture 🙂 Debian GNU/Linux Have you installed the [UDEV rules](https://docs.onlykey.io/linux.html)? Should be automatic since [OnlyKey v5.3.3 .deb](https://github.com/trustcrypto/OnlyKey-App/releases/tag/v5.3.3). Sometimes time is out of sync when the laptop has been on for several days. Then press `Button 3` for longer than 5 seconds and reconnect (Enter PIN). EDIT: Is this possible on the DUO? I always use the original ones. The DUO is in the drawer as a backup. I actually only got it to support Tim’s Kickstarter campaign. ---

It’s a new desktop pc I’m having the trouble with. I’ll check the UDEV rules when I’m at that location in a few days but I think I did install them. And I’m pretty sure I’m on Onlykey v5.3.3.deb. It does work fine except for the leaving plugged in when I shutdown.
