OneAuth
Choose the solution that applies to your case:
- If you have not enabled biometric authentication, you can sign in using your backup phone number.
- If you have enabled biometric authentication, or not provided a backup phone number, submit a request to support@zohoaccounts.com.
Time-Based OTP
If you receive an incorrect OTP error, it may be because the OTP is generated under an incorrect label, or your Google authenticator app's time is not properly synced.
Sync the authenticator's time and try again.
