[Bug]: New user 2FA six digit token error #58985

⚠️ This issue respects the following points: ⚠️

Bug description

When creating a new user with 2FA enforced, the user has to "proof" that he saved the token to a password manager or 2FA app, by providing a 6 digit code.
After that is done correctly, the user may sign in.

Unforunatly, even though the 6 digit code is still valid (because the 30 sec have no passed yet) the user will get an error when trying to log in and has to wait until a new code is generated.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Have 2FA enforced
  2. create a new user called testuser2
  3. try to login with that user
  4. create a 2fa code in a password app
  5. You now can't login with the six digit code. It does not work, neither with Apple Passwords nor with Bitwarden. You have to wait until the current valid six digit code expires and you get a new one
  6. with the new one, you can log in

Expected behavior

Login with the first, valid six digit code, not with the second one.
