Hello David,
As Tinu pointed you need to use an OTP authenticator (usually a program
on your cell phone or on your computer) that will generate the
authentication code
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-factor_authentication).
This program is a pseudo aleatory number generator that must be
synchronized with GitLab (usually through a QRCode that provides a seed
to the authenticator).
Excuse me if you already knew about it and is using the authenticator,
but if not you could have a long time to find the solution to the problem.
Regards,
Armando

Today my gitlab.archlinux.org login (after providing username and

authenticator code."
I've not had any problems for months. Has there be a change or am
I just lucky?
Have you checked if the device generating the OTP has the correct time
set?
Thank you Oscar and Tinu,
I've used timedatectl to sync (the time didn't change), so the time
was correct. I tried again after the restarting systemd-timesyncd and
it failed again, same error.
I've written accountsupport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx for help and we will go
from there.
