If an error or other issue occurs

If an error or other issue occurs, it may be due to one of the following reasons.

Your kintone domain uses Client Certificate Authentication, but you have not installed a client certificate

If you are using Client Certificate Authentication and you see the error message "Your access is denied by IP Address Restrictions. Access with a permitted IP address or use Client Certificate Authentication", you need to install a client certificate.
For details on how to configure Client Certificate Authentication, refer to the following page.

You cannot get a verification code for Two-Factor Authentication

If you can access kintone from a web browser on your mobile device or PC, open the "Login Name & Password" screen from the "Account Settings" screen, and then disable Two-Factor Authentication. After doing so, re-enable Two-Factor Authentication and try getting a verification code again.
If you cannot access kintone from any device, you need to ask an administrator to disable Two-Factor Authentication.
