Joomla! version: 2.5.14
PHP version: 5.4

Host: Linux/Debian
Admin Tools version: 2.5.8

Description of my issue:

After setting up two factor authentication on 2.5.6(or .7, not sure) everything was fine.
Upgrading to 2.5.8 and tested the secure code, everything still fine.

Reset the securecode + key. It stopped to work.
When using the new code it says the code is invalid (Step 4 - validation).

Using Google Authenticator, witht the new key with both the QR Code and manually setting it up.

IMHO, I would guess that even setting up a new code, the old one still in use by AT.
