Two factor authentication -- time synchronisation

Support level: Free or trial
Remote Utilities should also change the message that pops up after a user enters the TOTP where the time sync might be off. For example, I have users entering the TOTP, and if the time is not synced, the user gets taken to the password prompt with the notice that the password is incorrect. Well, the password IS correct, but the user starts entering a different password to try to correct the problem. They then call me, and I need to go in to 1.) fix their time sync problem, but also 2.)  re-add the correct password. I don't want to give out the password, but being remote, I'm in an awkward position.

extend the timeout for the two-factor authentication code?

Is it possible to extend the timeout for the two-factor authentication code? I have some not-so-nimble users who can't type the number in quickly enough.
