Hi,

Recently, a bunch of Iranian journalists/ activists have been targeted by
Iranian hackers.

Some of them said their 2-step verification was active during the attack
but hacker could reuse the code that sent by Google via SMS and passed
2-step verification!

I was wonder to know if some folks here know the validation time for the
2-step verification code that users receive through SMS not the app.

Cheers,

Amin
