No idea wtheck I'm doing wrong but for life of me cant figure out how to post snippet of code.
Consider piping output of
radiusd -X
to a file - pr make Putty remember the last 10 thousand lines and copy these ^^Big logs don't belong on the forum anyway - and will get refused. That issue was solved in the late nineties, when pastebin.com (and com parables) came alive.
The issue is shown clearly (I guess) :
although it might be worth it to check what this means :
Btw : I'm not an Google OTP user ...

@Gertjan yeah I just wasnt sure if pastebin was preferred here or not; thank you!
Yeah I seen the same as you just dont understand why device is initially authenticated then later cant be re-uathenticated. I've googled the last few lines you said to look into until I'm blue in face and turned up nothing useful other than basic make sure time is synced etc stuff

Found this https://forum.netgate.com/topic/135424/solved-two-factor-authentication-for-admin-login
There is also a official video talking about Google OTP, you'll find it in the same thread.

Will watch slide video shortly found in linked thread.
Seems most of the talk about OTP is in relation to VPN or PFSense admin page. Is it THAT different to integrate OTP into the Captive Portal versus the other two? I mean this doesn’t seem terribly difficult so not entirely sure what’s going wrong versus if I was using OTP to authenticate a VPN user.

Alright watched that hangout and skimmed through thread. Didnt lead me to any new conclusions. Tried a few new things and no progress so far :-( Maybe OTP just isnt meant to be used with CP

I realized this is VPN but I suspect it may be related. A command, reneg-sec, as what they describe is pretty much identical to my problem. Get connected but cant stay.
What's equivalent of "reneg-sec" for captive portal?
The exert: One more thing: OpenVPN renegotiates the authentication every 3600 seconds. But a Google Authenticator code is only valid for 30 seconds. So then renegotiation will fail and you will be disconnected and asked to re-enter your password (your PIN + your current Google Authenticator code). That’s ok and it works but you may want to change that behaviour.
The relevant setting is reneg-sec and you must set it to the number of seconds after which you want the negotionation to occur. 3600 is the default but you could set it to a higher value like a day. Use 0 to disable it altogether. Here I’m using 0; use however many you like.

Also : remember I was talking about the "pap" error ?
Check out the video at the end, jimp is also talking about this "pap".

Yes its type is set to PAP. :-(
Any other ideas?

So, turned this off/unchecked(in pfSense Captive Portal Settings) and so far it seems to have fixed everything. In captive portal I have a 45min timeout set and a 60min hard timeout set. With this every minute check disabled after 60min will it still toss the OTP users off as it would before, when it was checking every minute?
What exactly is turning this toggle off going to do or what else will it effect?Thanks!
-
Alright used it for a hour. Turning that check box, Reauthenticate Users, under Captive Portal Configuration OFF appears to have no other adverse effects. Idle timeout and hard timeout, again on Captive Portal Configuration page, are respected still as well.
So I guess the moral is, anyone looking to utilize OTP with Captive Portal...make sure above mentioned box IS UNCHECKED(toggled off). :-)
Thank you for all the help and tips @Gertjan; I appreciate your time.
