Disabling two-factor auth
I don't remember ever turning this on, it's annoying when I want to get a quick rate quote, and I can't find a way to turn it off.
Is this possible, or is this Marriott's way of dealing with their data breaches? |
Could you give a little more info on what is happening and where ?
|
I wonder if it is why I am experiencing the following. I can only log into my Marriott account if I get a six digit code. The code has to be sent to me by email; it won't work as text. I can have accessed my Marriott account in the past five minutes and still need to get a new code. It's time consuming and annoying. By contrast, my husband can access his account with no additional code required.
It's very annoying and I am glad the OP brought it up. |

The annoying part is surely that the IT isn't quite working properly (whether Marriott or your own cookie settings), not the actual existence of additional security.

TFA was implemented for those affected by Marriott Got Hacked. Yes, Again | WIRED.

Does it apply to the app as well? |

So every time these users access their accounts?
Does it apply to the app as well? I am able to access my account on my phone without doing this. I wonder if there is some points level for which the computer authentication is required? I have a substantial amount of points. My husband is not required to authenticate his account. He has minimal points. |

I use the website only when absolutely necessary, as the log-in is super buggy even without the need for TFA.

Right, my account was possibly compromised but not hacked. OK then. I'll use the mobile/tablet app going forward.

Did you ever get an answer? 2 step verification
Did you ever get an answer on how to disable the 2 step verification? It is very annoying.

If anyone still looking for how to disable it's right on Marriott's site here and worked for me:
