以前在谷歌游览器上安装了这个验证器的插件,后来手误删除了,重新安装这个插件之后,用Facebook的密钥生成的验证码显示错误,这是什么原因呢?

This extension often takes 10-30 minutes to load a code and has made me late to work on a regular basis. It also has a tendency to start giving invalid codes after a while and you have to delete your user and re-add it to get it to work again. Pretty bad all things considered.

The extension is very useful, completely accurate without errors and also has high security to keep your two-step codes. I really recommend it to you.
