This morning, on the fifth day after being locked out, I could log in normally. I just turned the 2FA off. I normally have it on for accounts, but this ordeal makes me feel like my account will be more secure if I use good online security practices (cycle passwords, password generated with password generator, etc.) rather than run the risk of getting locked out of my account for five days because I put the same cell number that has been on my account since it was created on a booking. Marriott not having a "trust this device" cookie was frustrating enough.
Did you use any specific phrase or just read the exact wording when you called? Today would have been the 5th day and I am still getting that screen when I try to log in - and exactly as you described they are talking about resetting the password which is not the issue.
