This issue occurs when you use the same mobile authenticator to configure both primary and backup using the same account name. To fix this problem, do the following:
Verify if the registered authenticator app is correct.
Use a different authenticator app or mobile number to configure the backup two-factor authentication recovery method.
Use only one mobile authenticator or mobile number to retrieve the two-factor codes when the mobile is lost or when the app is uninstalled.
If you don't want to configure the backup two-factor authentication recovery using a different authenticator or a mobile number, we suggest configuring two-factor authentication with the same authenticator app by generating a different account name with QR Scan.
