Setup Timezone

[Tiki10]

Hello,

I am not experienced with Docker and I want to configure the timezone for my container. Can you tell me how to do it for 2fauth?

Hi,
There is no need to have a specific timezone for 2FAuth to generate valid codes as the algorithm uses the unix timestamp.
What is your use case?

Hi,

Thank you for your reply.
We are trying to make it working with a Microsoft account and we got this error while scanning the QR code (sorry for bad translating) :
"Datas from this QR code doesn't form a valid URI OTP AUTH. This QR code contain ....."
We thought it was because of timezone.
We are using 2Auth 3.4.1

Microsoft 2FAs contain comma in the account description which is not a valid TOTP URI format so 2FAuth rejects them.
Please see #134

I've just saw this thread (#143) in issue. I 'll try it.
