**Description of the issue:** I want to sync my desktop and my phone brave browsers. When I generate the sync code on the desktop and scan it with the phone, it says “expired” every damn time. It says I should generate a new one, but there is no way to do that??? I even deleted my current sync chain and made a brand new one which did finally generate a new sync code, but it’s still expired somehow? WTF? ---

I had to slow type out the long word code from my phone, into my desktop. This seemed to have worked. ---
