Thank you for your help.

Sorry to jump in here, Greg HP, but can you give us a bit more info on the authenticator app you're using?
Does it support the Time-based One-Time Password (TOTP) protocol, like Google Authenticator or Duo Mobile?
Any additional info you can give us would be really helpful.
